Verse I:
I would love to [A13]tour the [Am7]Southland
[Em7/F] [FM7]In a traveling minstrel show
[A13] [Am7] [A13] [Am7]
Yes, I'd love to [C/D]tour the [Dm7]Southland
[C/D] I[Dm7]n a traveling minstrel show
Refrain:
Yes, I'm [D/E]dyin' to be a [E/A]star and [C/D]make them [D/G]laugh
[D/E]Sounds just like a [E/A]record on the [C/D]phono[D/G]graph
Those [D/E]days are gone fo[E/A]rever
[C/D]Over a [D/G]long time ago
[Em7/F]Oh, ye[FM7]ah
[Gsus4]Hey, hey
Verse II:
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
Yes, I do
Refrain:
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely; he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh, yeah
(Guitar interlude over verse and refrain)
Bridge:
[D] I [Am7]stepped up on the platform
The [FM7]man gave me the news
He [Am7]said, "You must be joking, son
Where [Am7]did you [Bm7]get those [CM7]shoes?"
[C/D] [Dm7] "Where did you [C/D]get [Dm7]those shoes?"
Refrain:
Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changing, but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh, yeah
