Chord/Tab song: Cindy of New Orleans

(Intro)
[G] [C]

(Verse 1)
[C]Down by the river where the [G]big boats go by.
Each day you could see them as [C]evening was nigh.
They planned to be married at the [G]first sign

of spring.
And Jim would take Cindy to see New [C]Orleans.


(Verse 2)
The town folks would smile as they [G]sat there alone.
Jim talked of the day he'd make [C]Cindy his own.
He saved his money to [G]buy her a ring and take his
sweet Cindy to see New [C]Orleans.


(Interlude)
[G] [C]

(Verse 3)
One [D]day a riverboat [A]gambler chanced by and captured
her heart with his [D]sweet words and lies.
He told her, come with me, and [A]you'll be a queen.
So, they left together to see New [D]Orleans.


(Verse 4)
Each day you can see Jim though [A]years have gone by.
Down by the river where the [D]big boats go by.
She wrote she'd return at the first [A]sign of spring.
He's waiting for Cindy to see New [D]Orleans.
