Words & Music by Louis Alter & Eddy De Lange
Recorded by Fats Domino, 1993

E7/6     A           D9      Cdim            A 
Do you know what it means to miss New Or - leans 

D9  AM7          C#m7-5     F#7
And miss it each night and day?

  Bm7          Dm6           A9        C#m7-5   F#7   
I know I'm not wrong -- this feeling's gettin' stronger 

    Bm        Bm7/E Dm6   E7
The longer, I stay   a - way.


E7/6  E7  A            D9        Cdim Bm7-5   E6 
Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines 

 D9  AM7           C#m7-5    F#7
Where mockin' birds used to sing;

    Bm7        Cdim      A9  C#m7-5      F#7   
And I'd like to see that lazy Mis - sis - sip - pi

D9       E7/6   A
Hurryin' into spring.


[Bridge]

    Esus4    E7-9 Cdim  A6
The moonlight on  the  bayou, 

F#m       Esus4     E7-9 Cdim  A6
A  Creole tune that fills the air; 

Fdim E7   Bm7-5    AM7       F#m
 I  dream about Magnolias in bloom 

        B7     Cdim    E7
And I'm wishin' I was there.


E7/6 E7  A            D9     Cdim Bm7-5    A6 
 Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans 

D9    AM7            C#m7-5     F#7
When that's where you left your heart?

     Bm7              Cdim     A9     C#m7-5  F#7   
And there's something more: I miss the  one I care for 

D9          Dm6  E7      A 
More than I miss New Orleans.
