CRESCENT CITY (Lucinda Williams)
--------------------------------
[Actually in E, I think; capo 4.]
C C G G
Everybody's had a few; now they're talking about who knows who
Am F G G
I'm going back to the Crescent City, where everything's still the same
C C G G
This town has said what it has to say; now I'm after that back highway
Am F G G
And the longest bridge I've ever crossed, over Pontchartrain
Dm Dm G G
Tous les temps sont temps (?), that's all we'd say
Dm Dm G G
We used to dance the night away
Dm Dm G G
Me and my sister, me and my brother
Dm Dm G G
We used to walk down by the ri - ver
Mama lives in Mandeville; I can hardly wait until
I can hear my Zydeco and "laissez les bons temps rouler"
And take rides in open cars; my brother knows where the best bars are
Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay
Tous les temps sont temps (?), that's all we'd say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister, me and my brother
We used to walk down by the river
C C G G Am F G G
