[Verse]
Bm A
She said baby our love's just like your songs
E
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong

It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on
E Bm A
She sang, Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone
E G A
And she's gone
Bm A
Me and Leigh met summer of '95
E
In a burgundy dress lookin' finer than French wine
Bm A
A Cajun Queen with another side
E Bm A
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out my mind
E
She was lookin' fine
G
She said "You want to drive me home"
A
But what I didn't know...

She was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans

Solo: I think it has a backwards effect like R.E.M's "what's the frequency,
Kenneth?",
and so it's pretty hard to work out.
Here's what you play over the solo anyway:

Last chorus: The last chorus of this song is interesting...
there's a key change...something you don't see that often.
All it means though is that you move all the chords up 2 frets.
E B C# A
Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing in the streets of New Orleans

She said, baby, our love's just like your songs
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong
It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on
She sang Johnny I'm gone, gone, gone
And she was gone
Me and Leigh met summer of '95
In a burgundy dress lookin' finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin' fine
She said "You want to drive me home"
But what I didn't know
Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)
That night I made a move, man I fell hard
When I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the light of speeding car
Nothing's what it seems
She was a Venus de Milo in her sister's jeans
Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing in the street of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)
Ooh, ooh, I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
