	        Intro: E  B7  E  E7  B7  E  
   


   
    E7             B7          E  
Ma cheri, she has left me for good  
    E7           B7           E  
After I gave my love for so long  
      B7  
She's out there with somebody new  
                            E  
And I just can't sit here alone, no  

           E7  
But it's so hard to drive with these tears in my eyes  
               A                              A#dim7  C#dim7  
And it takes a long time to get to Baton Rouge  
          E          B7       E            A  
And all I want is to hear somebody play my song  
       Ddim7       B7          E  
When a Cajun man   gets the blues  


         B7                        E  
When I'm feeling the weight of the water  
       B7                             E  
Lord I know that there's blues in the Quarter  
         E7             B7         A  
If I could hold back my tears and make it there, I'd be alright  
          B7  
But I might need ya, New Orleans, every night  

        E              B7     E  
I don't know where I'd be without you  
             E7             B7          E  
Yeah, you've been there for me all the while  
     B7  
From Lafayette, to Thibodaux, to Lake Charles  
                                           E  
From Natchitoches, to Shreveport, to Grand Isle  

         E7  
When I'm feeling the pain, the bayou's callin' my name  
              A                        A#dim7  C#dim7  
And that's an offer that I can't refuse  
        E       B7       E      A  
Oh,it's hard to miss you, Louisiana  
       Ddim7    B7         E  
When a Cajun man gets the blues  
       E7        B7      E        A  
Yes it's hard to miss you,  Louisiana  
        Ddim7      B7         E  
When this Cajun man gets the blues
