[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
G C G                              
■ ■ Maybe it was a dream last night
   G                              
Or looking into my daughter's eyes
C                       
But my heart was sinking
            C              
Yeah man it got me thinking
G                         
About all of my yesterdays
                        C              
Every minute every page of my innocence
          C                 
Wishing I could go back when
  Am           Bm                     
I was wild and free as the Mississippi
C                        
Playing in the sugar cane
Am7       Bm    G   
A part of me is gone
             C                   
I don't know when it slipped away
                     G        
I guess I left it in Louisiana


[Chorus]
G                  
Blowing in the wind
Am            C      
Hiding in the quarter
                     C    
Gotta get back there again
                           G    
To the sweet sounds of the bayou
                       Am
Let it wash right over me
              C    
Make me whole again
                        D    
Bring back that missing piece
               G        
That I left in Louisiana


[Inst]
     C G                      
Well ■ ■ I still feel the same


[Verse]
                                  C      
But the mirror tells me that I've changed
                   C                    
Every morning it's like a subtle warning
G                            
It comes on like a delta rain
                                 C   
Soaks through my skin down to my vein
       C                   
And it leaves me breathless
    C                
And a little restless
Am        Bm7                       
Reminding me that life is so fragile
C                           
Like a thin sheet of a glass
    Am                         Bm 
The moment you're living right now
C                         
Will soon become your past
                 G        
And I left it in Louisiana


[Chorus]
               Am  
Blowing in the wind
              C      
Hiding in the quarter
                     C    
Gotta get back there again
                           G    
To the sweet sounds of the bayou
                       Am
Let it wash right over me
              C    
Make me whole again
                        D    
Bring back that missing piece
               Em       
That I left in Louisiana


[Solo]
C   G D       Em            C      
But ■ ■ every night I close my eyes


[Bridge]
         D                  C           
And I go walking under that magnolia sky


[Chorus]
                  G        
That I left it in Louisiana
               Am7 
Blowing in the wind
              C      
Hiding in the quarter
G                    Am7  
Gotta get back there again
G      D7                  G    
To the sweet sounds of the bayou
                       Am
Let it wash right over me
              C    
Make me whole again
                        D    
Bring back that missing piece
               G        
That I left in Louisiana
C        
Louisiana
