Crescent City Chords & Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

Capo 4 for Original key

E[C]verybody's had [C]a few; now they're talking abou[G]t who knows who
I'[G]m going back to the [Am]Crescent City, wher[F]e everything's still the [G]same
Th[G]is town has said what it [C]has to say; [C]now I'm after that b[G]ack highway
An[G]d the [Am]longest bridge I'v[F]e ever crossed, over[G] Pontchartrain

[G]"Tous les temps en [Dm]temps," [Dm]that's all we'd [G]say
We used to[Dm] dance [Dm]the night [G]away
Me and my [Dm]sister, [Dm]me and my [G]brother
[Dm] Dm G[/ch
We used to walk down by the ri - ver

[G]Mama lives in [C]Mandeville; I can hardly [G]wait until
I can hear my [Am]Zydeco and "[F]laissez les bons temps [G]rouler"
And take rides in [C]open cars; my brother knows where the [G]best bars are
Let's see how these [Am]blues'll do in the [F]town where the good times [G]stay

[G]"Tous les temps en [Dm]temps," [Dm]that's all we'd [G]say
We used to[Dm] dance [Dm]the night [G]away
Me and my [Dm]sister, [Dm]me and my [G]brother
We used to [Dm]walk [Dm]down by the [G]ri - ver

[G] [Dm] [Dm] [G] [G] [Dm] [Dm] [G]
