Tryin' To Get To New Orleans

• G

Intro 
 
 
My (G) daddy said son put your guitar down 
We gotta build some fence...gotta plow some ground 
I told my daddy, "try and understand..." 
"This John Deere tractor don't fit my plan..."  
And I (D7) hit the road 
Chasin' down a (G) dream 
And I (D7) need a little help 
I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans  
 
(G) Sidetracked up in Illinois 
I'm not that smart...I'm an innocent boy 
She called me baby...she called me honey... 
She called a cab and took away my money  
On the (D7) road again 
Somewhere south of Mo(G)line 
And I (D7) need a little help 
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans  
 
(C) Don't know why...I gotta go 
(F) If I don't try I'll never know 
(C) About e'touffe and Cajun (G) queens 
I need a little help  
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Orleans  
 
Solo 
 
(G) Hocked my watch...bought a burger and fries 
Tried to pretend it was red beans and rice 
Midnight in Memphis...hello to Graceland 
Next stop...Louisiana  
And I'm (D7) on the road  
Chasin' down a (G) dream 
And I (D7) need a little help 
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans  
I (D7) need a little help 
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans  
 
I'm just an (D7) old poor boy 
Chasin' down a (G) dream 
And I (D7) need a little help 
You see I'm tryin' to get to New Or(G)leans
