“Crescent City Blues”

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Dm G7
Underneath the southern sky,
C7 Fmaj7
Where the river winds and sighs,
Dm G7
A melody begins to bloom,
C7 Fmaj7
In the heart of the Crescent Moon.

(Chorus)
A7 Dm
Crescent City Blues,
G7 C7
A song we never choose,
Fmaj7 Bb7
It chose us instead,
A7 Dm
Ringing loud in our head.

(Verse 2)
Dm G7
Through the streets of New Orleans,
C7 Fmaj7
Past the shadows and the gleams,
Dm G7
The rhythms begin to twine,
C7 Fmaj7
In this heart of yours and mine.

(Chorus)
A7 Dm
Crescent City Blues,
G7 C7
A rhythm we can’t refuse,
Fmaj7 Bb7
It’s the pulse of this land,
A7 Dm
In every beat of the band.
