              Verse 1 
          C        G 
Like a killer at large 
      C                   F 
You stroll down Bourbon Street 
   C                  G 
Lookin' for an easy mark 
       C            F 
With every man you meet 
                  C 
I never saw the devil  
              F 
Behind your angel eyes 
   C 
Spellbound by your longlegs 
                  F 
And your little white lies 
 
       G 
Oh, heaven help the heart 
       C               F 
That falls head over heels 
               C 
'Cause you'll tear it all apart 
                     G 
Just to see how it feels 
                   C 
How can you be so hot 
        F 
And so cold blooded too 
       G                      
Oh, heaven help the heart 
       C                 F 
That falls in love with you 
 
Solo 
Verse 2 
    C 
You're no Adelaide 
                  F 
No pretty Cajun queen 
        C              G 
Just a bad girl from Biloxi 
 
      F 
Or addicted to morphine 
     C 
And when your love wears off 
          F 
There's nothin' left but pain 
      G 
And enough tear drops fallin' 
     C             F 
To flood Lake Ponchatrain 
 
Chorus 
Solo 
 
Verse 3 
                C 
I can see you smilin' 
          G 
In some Creole cafe 
   F 
Slippin' your love potion 
        C        G 
Into someone's etufe 
 
Chorus x 2 
      F              C 
Oh, heaven help the heart  
                         G 
That falls in love with you--u
