    F                              F7
The dew is hanging diamonds on the clover,
    Bb                                Bbm6
The moon is list'n'ing to the nighten-gale.
    F                   A7
And while we're lost in dreams,
    Dm              Ddim
The world around us seems
F             C7        F    C7
Like a Lou'si-ana fairy-tale.

    F                                 F7
The breeze is softly singing thru the willows,
   Bb                               Bbm6
As hand in hand we stroll along the trail.
    F              A7
And love is at its height,
   Dm             Ddim
En-chanting us to-night,
F             C7        F    F7
Like a Lou'si-ana fairy-tale.

      Bb                A+
Is it real, this fascin-ation?
       F                D9
Are my arms holding you fast?
       G7              G9
Are we here, on a plan-tation,
   Dm7           G7        Gm7  C7
Or could this be heaven at last?

     F                               F7
Keep dreaming with your head upon my shoulder,
    Bb                              Bbm6
And don't awake until the stars growpale.
    F               A7
The world is at our feet,
    Dm             Ddim
The picture is com-plete,
F             C7        F
Like a Lou'si-ana Fairy-tale.

End:

    F               A7
The world is at our feet,
    Dm             Ddim
The picture is com-plete,
F             C7        F
Like a Lou'si-ana Fairy-tale.
