[Verse 1]
G
Wake up, I'll run up to the window
Em
She's standing on a corner, emotions made her follow
CAm
I see her in her red shoes, I slip out of the front door
G
And she starts up her car
[Verse 2]
G
She drives, we're heading for the city
(F#) Em
That’s swimming in her bloodstream, that's pulsing in her heartbeat
CAm
I feel it washing over her, as she turns on a canal street
She's wide awake again
[Chorus 1]
GAmEmC
Ooo yeah, she swears it's in the air, you just have to believe
GAmEmC
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, yes she comes alive down in New Orleans
[Verse 3]
G
We're running by the river, the city lights are blazing
Em
She looks like she could fly off, like gravity is failing
CAm
Somewhere in the distance, a marching band is playing
She's wide awake again
[Chorus 2]
GAmEmC
Ooo yeah, she swears it's in the air, you just have to believe
GAmEmC
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, yes she comes alive down in New Orleans
DEmC
Oh, and something in her eyes that I've never seen
C
When she says to me, I'm wide awake again
GAmEmC
Ooo yeah, there's magic in the night down in New Orleans

Take me down to the water, take me down to the water (of New Orleans)
Take me down to the water
[Bridge]
AmG/BCDAm
No I never have figured out, just a maze I've never known
G/BCD
But suddenly it's making sense, when she shows me all
G/BCG (D/F#) G/BCG/B
The roses in the sidewalk, like angels at her feet
C
And they're breaking through the pavement
AmGAmEmC
To light her away through New Orleans, through New Orleans
[Outro Chorus]
GAmEmC
Ooo yeah, she swears it's in the air, you just have to believe
GAmEmC
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, yes she comes alive down in New Orleans

Oh, and something in her eyes that I've never seen
C
When she says to me, I'm wide awake again

Ooo yeah, there's magic in the night down in New Orleans
