Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Dm][G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]listening
to the rhythm
of this railroad train
I got your let[D]ter in my hand
Saying, [G]baby,
catch your body on that cannonball
That good old cannonball
I got to [C]go with [G]that [C]southern wind blow
New Or[F]leans, sweet New [D]Orleans
Oh, I'm [G]looking out the window
at the fields rolling by
Chasing the [D]clouds out of the sky
I can [G]see you sitting pretty
in that Louisiana sun, oh how it shines
I'm in [C]love with your sweet Dixie smile
New Orleans,
[F]sweet New Orleans
[D]Whistling
New Orleans,
[G]sweet New Orl[D]eans
Whistling
Hear me [C]say fireman, fireman, fireman
Keep [G]your [D]whistle blowing, blowing
Hear me say [C]fireman, fireman, fireman
Keep your [D]big wheels rolling, rolling
Oh, I'm gonna [G]strut to downtown,
yeah, my baby and me
I got on [A]my [D]top hat and dancing shoes
Oh, I'm gonna [G]strut to downtown,
oh, Bourbon Street
Singing those [D]sweet time Dixie blues
I know [G]Ar lene, Sweden,
[D]Arlene[G]
[D][G]
Isn't it [C]jazz man, jazz man, jazz man?
Keep your [D]mu sic blowin', blowin'
And they [A]say [C]fireman, oh,
fireman, fireman
Keep those [D]big wheels rollin', rollin'
Oh, [Abdim]keep it r[G]ollin'
Keep them [D]rollin' down to New Orleans
Do, do, do, do, do, [G]do, do, do
Oh, New Orleans, New Orleans
I'm [D]on my way back home
I'm on my [G]way back home
I'm [G]on my way
