[Intro]

C A D7 
G C
 
 
[Verse]

C
I guess the point of goin' to college
        F             
Was to acquire myself 
         C
a little knowledge
C
And help me figure out
     G7                   C7
What life was really all about
        F
It made Peets and J.D. happy
    F#dim
And set me wild and free
       C
Then I danced out of Mississippi
A7           D7      G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street
 
 
[Verse]

C
I sang, "Hey Pocky A-way"
       F                  C
On the streetcar headed uptown
C
I went to class every day
G7
And never wore a frown
      C
I was taught by the Neville Brothers
      F         
Benny Spellman, 
      F#dim
and a whole lotta others  
     C                   A7
That brass brand blew my mind
       D7            G7     C
When I joined in the second line
 
 
[Bridge]

           F
I felt the power of the gris-gris
       F#dim      Am     Cdim
Got my soul saved by the backbeat
      C                 A7
I was branded by Jean Lafitte
          D          G       C
At the University of Bourbon Street
  Bb                    C
I sang on a paddlewheel boat
Bb                       C
Floated down the Mississippi
Bb             F          C
Helped build a Mardi Gras float
             G7
And smoked a joint with

 a beautiful hippie
 
 
[Verse]

          C
I heard a church choir sing
C
"Change my guitar strings"
        F
Thought things just 

couldn't get better
       C                     A7
'Til I walked to the Central Grocery
    Dm           G    C
And had myself a muffaletta
          F
I took my lunchbox to the streetcar
     F#dim               Cdim
That Tennessee named, "Desire"
       C                   A7
Then I followed my dancin' feet
          D7         G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street
 
 
[Interlude]

[Bridge]

C
Yeah, we got high-class, 

low-rent Voodoo information
C
Pat O'Brien's hurricane accreditation
C
Old-school sex education
    G
And I learned how to eat
 
 
[Verse]

         C
From the music and the people
C
To the cookin' and the joy
   F7                  F#
It really ain't a mystery
C                          A7
I just followed my dancin' feet
          D7         G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street
                      A7
I got my Lucky Dog Ph.D.
          D7         G7      C
At the University of Bourbon Street
                     
Yeah, I just followed 
           A7
my dancin' feet
          D7         G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street
                         A7

          D7         G7      C
At the University of Bourbon Street
