VERSE:

From somewhere outside
             A            E
I hear the street vendor cry,

Going down the street

PRE-CHORUS:                                      
          E             C#m
That she fell right to sleep
        E            C#m       E
In the damp tangled sheets so soon

       E           B        E
After love in the hot afternoon


CHORUS:
          B
Now the Bourbon street lady
  A            E
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
         B          A            E
She was new to me, full of mystery
           
But now I know
(But I know)


PRE-CHORUS:
      E           C#m
That she's just a girl
     E         C#m        E
And I'm just a guy, in a room

         E           B        E
Full of love in the hot afternoon


INSTRUMENTAL:
E  D  A E  D  A E


VERSE:
        E                            
We got high in the park 
      A              E
This morning and we sat, without talkin'

      E
Then we came back here
        A           E
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'


PRE-CHORUS:
       E         C#m
Where under her breath
     E           C#m     E
She hummed to herself a tune

    E           B        E
Of love in the hot afternoon


CHORUS:
          B
Now the Bourbon street lady
  A            E
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
         B          A            E
She was new to me, full of mystery
           
But now I know
(But I know)


PRE-CHORUS:
      E           C#m
That she's just a girl
     E         C#m        E
And I'm just a guy, in a room

         E           B        E
Full of love in the hot afternoon
