Bayou Band

[Intro ]
Am    F    Dm    E 



[Verso 1]
 
        Am 
Well, I met a man down in New Orleans 
   F 
He wore a leather jacket and some voodoo beads 
   Dm                                              E 
He told me hed give me the world if I sold him my soul 
       Am 
As the night grew dark and the fog rolled in 
    F 
The ghostly sounds of an old jazz band 
    Dm                                                        E 
Was shinin' on the river, you could see em dancin' under the moon 
 


[Refrão]
 
           Am 
That Bayou band played a long time ago 
          F 
Departure train is where they left their souls 
                Dm                                             E 
You can see the black magic creepin' all around when the sun goes down 
             Am                 F      Dm  E 
On the Bayou band, on the Bayou band, oh, hm 
 


[Verso 2]
 
    Am 
The shadow man was temptin me and pullin me in (pullin' me in) 
   F 
He showed me shiny things and made some promises (promises) 
   Dm                                                               E 
He said Id draw the biggest crowd of people that the South's ever seen 
   Am 
He read me all his cards and read the lines in my hands (lines in my hands) 
    F 
The Bayou bands waiting across the line in the sand 
             Dm                                                                   E 
But life's a price that I aint payin', son, 'cause he aint gettin nothing from me

           Am 
That Bayou band played a long time ago 
          F 
Departure train is where they left their souls 
                Dm                                             E 
You can see the black magic creepin' all around when the sun goes down 
             Am                 F     Dm    E 
On the Bayou band, on the Bayou band 
 


[Ponte]
 
    Am 
Now old man LeBlanc, whos a dear friend to me 
        F 
You can find him and his trumpet down on Bourbon Street 
      Dm 
He'll tell you it aint nothing but the music 
                 E       E            E                   Am  F  Dm  E 
That's gonna ever (ever), ever (ever), ever gonna set you free, oh, hm 


{Out-Chorus} 
           Am 
That Bayou band played a long time ago 
          F 
Departure train is where they left their souls 
                Dm                                                E 
You can see the black magic creepin' all around when the sun goes down 
Am 
On the Bayou band
