A Wake up, I'll run up to the window F#m She's standing on a corner, emotions made her follow D I see her in her red shoes, Bm I slip out of the front door A And she starts up her car She drives We're heading for the city That swimming in her bloodstream That's pulsing in her heartbeat I feel it washing over her As she turns onto Canal Street She's wide awake again Chorus: A Bm F#m Ooo yeah, she swears it's in the air, D you just have to believe A Bm F#m Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, yes she comes alive D down in New Orleans We're runnin' by the river The city lights are blazing She looks like she could fly off Like gravity is failing Somewhere in the distance A marching band is playing She's wide awake again Chorus: Ooh, yeah She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe Ooh, ooh Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans E F#m Ohh and there's something D in her eyes that I've never seen When she says to me, A Bm "I'm wide awake again" Ooh, yeah F#m D A There's magic in the night down in New Orleans A Take me down to the water, take me down to the water (of New Orleans) Take me down to the water Bm A/C# D E No I never have figured out, just a maze Bm I've never known A/C# D E But suddenly it's making sense, when she shows me all A/C# D A F#m D F#m The roses in the sidewalk, like angels at her feet D And they're breaking through the pavement Bm A Bm F#m To light her away through New Orleans, through D New Orleans Chorus: Ooh, yeah She swears it's in the air, you just have to believe (you just have to believe) Ooh, ooh Yes she comes alive down in New Orleans And oh there's something in her eyes that I've never seen When she says to me, "I'm wide awake again" Ooh, yeah There's magic in the night down in New Orleans (Take me down to the water) (Take me down to the water of New Orleans) (Take me down to the water) (Take me down to the water, New Orleans) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  C#  D  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
