CAPO 1

   C
Well I went south
       F             C
With a case of survival
   C
To amend my heart
       G            C
that's paper thin
    C
You see I felt her words
       F             C
and her images filed
      Am
I'm gonna carry my
      G            C    
heart to New Orleans
        C
I have no home to go
      F             C
So I wander awhile
     C
From coast to coast
     G         C
From sin to sin
      C
From the coldest shores
     F              C
To the warmest islands
     Am        
Been around the world
     G          C
Back to New Orleans
      
     G
Well she's got pride
     F          C
Like a million lions
   G    
she's got a scar
      F         C
on her velvet face
    F 
she's got a smile
                 C
like a newborn child
   Am
she's gotta walk, 
     G      C
a Stoic Grace
              
        C
I never slept that night
     F        C
Until my arrival
   C               G         C
I romanticized a long embrace
       C
You see I lost my tongue
     F         C
and burned my Bible
    Am
But made it back home
  G         C
to New Orleans

    G
Well she's got pride
    F          C
Like a million lions
   G    
she's got a scar
     F         C
on her velvet face
    F 
she's got a smile
                 C
like a newborn child
   Am
she's gotta walk, 
   G     C
a Stoic Grace

        C
Well I held my breath

and I swam for miles
      Am
When all was lost
   G         C
and hell took place
        C
You see it rained all night
     F       C
and the city she flooded
     G
It rained all night
          C
in New Orleans
         G
Yeah it rained all
       F         C
night in New Orleans
      G
Yeah it rained all
       Am       C
night in New Orleans
        Am
Yeah it rained all
    G     C    F   Am  G    C
night in New Orleans
