Truckstop Honeymoon - Mardis Gras in Kansas
Tabbed by: Danny Halstead

Intro: A  E 

A
It's Mardis gras in Kansas
                 E   
There ain't no parade

Still I put on a boa and some plastic beads
                        A
and this little tutu I made

And I walked up and down this midwest town
                      D
All I could see were cars

With working stiffs going to work as if
      E                        A
They didn't know it was Mardi Gras


D
Mardis Gras in Kansas
       A
Ain't like it is in New Orleans
            E
There's no marching bands

No Dacquiri stands
                         A
No hookers and no drag queens
      D
No tourists falling in the gutter
         A
As they put their Margaritas away
E
Mardis Gras in Kansas
                   A         E
Is just another Tuesday


A
I shoulda known something was up
                                    E
When I saw there was snow on the ground

The neighbours were digging out their driveways
                       A
And nobody else was around

Thought I made a mistake

And got the wrong date
                       D
Maybe this was all a dream

It's Mardi Gras, for sure
           E                   A         E
But it's Kansas and not New Orleans


D
Mardis Gras in Kansas
         A
It just ain't the same
             E
There's no Mardi Gras rows

No cups to go
                      A
Nobody playing Eliza Jane
         D
Still I put on a rhumba

dance a little number
       A
But I felt like a kind of a freak
      E
Coz Mardis Gras in Kansas
                            A       E
Is just another day of the week



SOLO - Play same chords as verse


    D
So next year I got a good plan babe
   A
I tell you what we gonna do
  E
We're going to start the very first ever
                   A
Kansas Mardi Gras crew
D
Gonna shut down this whole town
              A
We're gonna close off every street
               E
And then the Kansas High School Marching Band
                             A        E
are gonna learn a different beat


D
Mardis Gras in Kansas
       A
Ain't like it is in New Orleans
            E
There's no marching bands

No Dacquiri stands
                         A
No hookers and no drag queens
D
But its gonna change, it's gonna get strange
                  A
It will be like Kansas you have never seen
              E
When we get Mardis Gras in Kansas
                             A
Just like they got in New Orleans
E
Yeah, we'll have Mardis Gras in Kansas
                             A
Just like they got in New Orleans
