Ellis Paul - Hurricane Angel
A Summer Night In Georgia: Live From Eddie's Attic
Intro: C Am F C, C Am F G, Am C F C, Am C F C G
[C]On the day the [Am]levee broke
The [F]water did rise, The [C]flowers did choke
I [C]sat in my living room, [Am]took one last toke
Then I [F]watched it all drift [G]away
Now my [Am]credit card's [C]ringing up at [F]thirty percent
There's a [Am]man in [C]India [F]wondering where the money went
But [C]I [G]can't [F]pay
So I [C]sat on my roof In [Am]Lake Pontchartrain
Singing [F]woe to my chimney Singing [C]woe to the rain
A [C]stranger came by I [Am]never caught his name
He [F]said he's rowing to the Rio [G]Grande
[Am]Air Force [C]One a blue [F]streak in the sky
Mr. [Am]President, [C]You can't [F]afford to lie
Cause [C]I can't [G]afford to [F]pay
Hurricane [C]Ang[Am]el I'm lifting my [F]eyes over Baton [C]Rouge
[C]Lift up your wings let me [Am]hear your voice singing
Can you [F]turn these black skies to [G]blue again?
I'm [Am]laying on the [C]floor of a [F]trailer at night
with [Am]sixteen [C]refugees [F]waiting on daylight
[C]I [G]can't [F]pay
I caught a [C]flatbed ford up to [Am]Baton Rouge
with four [F]worn out souls and one c[C]orkscrew
You can [C]drown New Orleans but you [Am]can't drown the blues
so [F]bartender pour [G]away
[Am]Exxon's [C]having one [F]hell of a year
[Am]three bucks a [C]gallon man they're [F]making it clear
that [C]I [G]can't [F]pay.
Middle: C Am F C, C Am F G, Am C F C, Am C F C G
[C]Lord, [F]Lord, [Am]Lord
We haven't [F]spoken in many a [C]day
I [C]got myself in trouble [Am]down in the Ninth Ward
thought [F]I'd send a prayer your [G]way
[Am]On my [C]windowsill's [F]A stack of insurance bills
[Am]A man in [C]Delaware [F]says I can't have the pills
[C]until [G]I can [F]pay

with [Am]sixteen [C]refugees [F]waiting on daylight
[C]I [G]can't [F]pay
[C]Somebody [G]should [F]pay
[C]On the day the [Am]levee broke
The [F]water did rise and the [C]flowers did choke
I [C]sat in my living room, [Am]took one last toke
and I [F]watched it all drift [C]away
