VERSE:
From s[E]omewhere outside
I hear the st[A]reet vendor c[E]ry,
[E]
"Filet gumbo"
[E]
From my w[E]indow I see him
G[A]oing down the st[E]reet
[E]
And he don't know
[E]
PRE-CHORUS:
That she f[E]ell right to s[C#m]leep
In the d[E]amp tangled s[C#m]heets so s[E]oon
After l[E]ove in the h[B]ot aftern[E]oon
CHORUS:
Now the Bo[B]urbon street lady
Sl[A]eeps like a b[E]aby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
She was n[B]ew to me, f[A]ull of myster[E]y
But now I know
(But I know)
PRE-CHORUS:
That s[E]he's just a [C#m]girl
And I[E]'m just a [C#m]guy, in a r[E]oom
Full of l[E]ove in the h[B]ot aftern[E]oon
INSTRUMENTAL:
[E] [D] [A] [E] [D] [A] [E]
VERSE:
We got h[E]igh in the park
This m[A]orning and we s[E]at, without talkin'
Then w[E]e came back here
In the h[A]eat of the d[E]ay, tired of walkin'
PRE-CHORUS:
Where u[E]nder her b[C#m]reath
She h[E]ummed to her[C#m]self a t[E]une
Of l[E]ove in the h[B]ot aftern[E]oon
CHORUS:
Now the Bo[B]urbon street lady
Sl[A]eeps like a b[E]aby in the shadows
