Banks Of The Pontchartrain Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I'm going Fback where my A♯garden blooms all Fyear

 Where the Amwinter time speaks Gmsoftly in the fallFing rain

 I'm going back to my A♯green-eyed lover Fthere

 We will Amdance along the A♯banks of old Lake FPonchartrain

Chorus

CTake me to the station

 I am A♯late to catch my south-bound Ftrain

 Oh I'm gonna Ccall my cousin Libby

 She will be A♯waitin' by the tracks when I roll Fin

  And I'm gonna Amroll across America

 Just to A♯stand beside my Ponchartrain agFain

Oh' I've grown pale beneath the streets of Montreal

Where the voices ring like bells in French-Canadian

And the rivers stand imprisoned till the thaws

I am alone at night and dream of my own Pontchartrain

These old rails shake like thunder through the night

Soon I'll have my green-eyed lover's arms to comfort me

Oh, I can see my cousin Libby by his side

Her hair will flow in waves like on Lake Pontchartrain

I'm going back where my garden blooms all year

Where the wintertime speaks softly in the fallin' rain

I'm goin' back to my green-eyed lover there

And we will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain

Yes we will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain

We will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain

And here comes the train . . .
