A     F#m     A
INTRO


A 
Down in Louisiana bayous by and by, 

Perogue pole or your natural soul 

Keeps you tied to a tree high tide. 
F#m
Beer joint lights come on, 
             A 
And then the crowd starts rollin' in. 


 
Pretty soon you got stars on the water 

Just like stars on the water 
        F#m                        A
You got stars on the water, let it rain 


A
Beaumont to Biloxi, 

Sea breeze at your door. 

Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes 

White silver sandy shores. 
    F#m
The Blue Light lounge is shinin' 
A  
Way out on the view. 


 
It looks just like stars on the water 
          
Just like stars on the water 
          F#m                        A
Just like stars on the water, let it rain 


A    F#m    A  
INSTRUMENTAL


A
When it's midnight down in Mobile, 

Shinin' moonbeams on the bay, 

They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down 

And dig the good time sounds they all play. 
    F#m 
And all across the harbour, 
A
Night lights shinin' on. 



It looks just like stars on the water, 

Just like stars on the water, 
                F#m                        A 
Feels just like stars on the water, let it rain. 



Pretty soon you got stars on the water,

You got stars on the water,
        F#m                        A
You got stars on the water, let it rain.
