INTRO: E - B7 - E - E7 - B7 - E
Ma c[E7]heri, she has l[B7]eft me for g[E]ood
Afte[E7]r I gave my l[B7]ove for so lo[E]ng
She's [B7]out there with somebody new
And I just can't sit here al[E]one, no
But it's so[E7] hard to drive with these tears in my eyes
A [ch]A#dim7[/ch] -- [ch]C#dim7[/ch]
And it takes a long time to get to Baton Rouge
And all I [E]want is to [B7]hear some[E]body play my [A]song
[ch]Ddim7[/ch] B7 E
When a Cajun man gets the blues
When I'm [B7]feeling the weight of the [E]water
Lord I [B7]know that there's blues in the [E]Quarter
If I coul[E7]d hold back my [B7]tears and m[A]ake it there, I'd be alright
But I migh[B7]t need ya, New Orleans, every night
I don't [E]know where I'd [B7]be with[E]out you
Yeah, you've [E7]been there for [B7]me all the w[E]hile
From [B7]Lafayette, to Thibodaux, to Lake Charles
From Natchitoches, to Shreveport, to Grand [E]Isle
When I'm [E7]feeling the pain, the bayou's callin' my name
A [ch]A#dim7[/ch] -- [ch]C#dim7[/ch]
And that's an offer that I can't refuse
Oh,it's [E]hard to [B7]miss you,[E] Louisi[A]ana
When a [Ddim7]Cajun man[B7] gets the b[E]lues
Yes it'[E7]s hard to [B7]miss you[E], Louisi[A]ana
[ch]Ddim7[/ch] B7 E
When this Cajun man gets the blues
