[Verse 1]
       C            Em     C        Am7      
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
    Em7          Am        D9 
And miss it each night and day
  F6           Fm         C                 A7      
I know I’m not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
    Dm7           Ab7 G7
The longer I stay away

[Verse 2]
         C            Gaug       C          Am7  
Miss the moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines
      Em7 Em6      Am      D9  
Where mockingbirds used to sing
    F6          Fm      C          A7   
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
  Dm7      G7   C     
A hurrying into spring

[Bridge 1]
    Bbm7 Eb7          Ab6 
The moonlight on the bayou
         Bbm7 Eb7            Ab6
A creole tune that fills the air
  Am7  D7     G6           Em7 
I dream about Magnolias in June
             Am           D7         Dm Gaug
And soon I'm wishing that I was there

[Verse 3]
       C            Gaug     C          Am   
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
     Em               Am        D9   
When that's where you left your heart
    F6                Fm      C              A7      
And there's something more, I miss the one I care for
D9          G13        C6   
More than I miss New Orleans

[Bridge 2]
            Bbm7 Eb7       Ab6 
Oh the Mardi Gras, the memories
      Bbm7 Eb7          Ab6          
Of Creoles' tunes that filled the air
    Am7  D7  G6         Em  
I dream of oleanders in June
                          Am          D7 Dm Gaug
And soon I'm wishing that I were there
Added my own ending (not in original song):
C                        Gaug   C       Am   
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
Em              Am              D9 
Ain't no place like it in the world
F6              Fm      C            A7  
That's where I left my pretty little girl
D9                  G13           C6  
And I miss her like I miss New Orleans
