 CRESCENT CITY (Lucinda Williams)<br/>
 --------------------------------<br/>
 [Actually in E, I think; capo 4.]<br/>
 <br/>
             C          C                          G             G<br/>
 Everybody's had a few;  now they're talking about who knows who<br/>
                         Am                 F                       G   G<br/>
 I'm going back to the Crescent City, where everything's still the same<br/>
                            C           C                   G            G<br/>
 This town has said what it has to say;  now I'm after that back highway<br/>
                   Am                F                    G   G<br/>
 And the longest bridge I've ever crossed, over Pontchartrain<br/>
 <br/>
                     Dm        Dm            G       G<br/>
 Tous les temps sont temps (?),  that's all we'd say<br/>
             Dm  Dm           G   G<br/>
 We used to dance  the night away<br/>
           Dm     Dm          G   G<br/>
 Me and my sister,  me and my brother<br/>
            Dm  Dm            G    G<br/>
 We used to walk  down by the ri - ver<br/>
 <br/>
 Mama lives in Mandeville; I can hardly wait until<br/>
 I can hear my Zydeco and "laissez les bons temps rouler"<br/>
 And take rides in open cars; my brother knows where the best bars are<br/>
 Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay<br/>
 <br/>
 Tous les temps sont temps (?), that's all we'd say<br/>
 We used to dance the night away<br/>
 Me and my sister, me and my brother<br/>
 We used to walk down by the river<br/>
 <br/>
