INTRO:
[F] [F] [C] [Bb]
VERSE:
I c[Dm]ouldn't out drink anyone for nothing
But I'd a[F]ct like it 'til I puked or passed out
Oooh, m[C]ost nights I could get away with something
Th[Bb]ese days I don't seem to stand so proud
VBERSE:
She [Dm]asked me why can't I just stop drinking
C[F]ome on babe, we both know it's too late
Oooh, for e[C]ither one of us to still be thinking
T[Bb]hat I could live my life some other way
CHORUS:
I w[Am]oke up in New [Dm]Orleans
[G]Angry at the world and all al[Bb]one
I w[Am]ant you to know [Dm]darling
I l[C]ove you and I want to come back h[Bb]ome[Dm][Bb]
VERSE:
It was l[Dm]ess than graceful ladies I've said we'll see
I've dr[F]ank with scoundrels, tramps and god damn fools
Oooh, but [C]I don't think that much care if it kills me
L[Bb]iving life the man's just passing through
VERSE:
The l[Dm]ast few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams
A qu[F]ilt of poor intentions raveled out
Oooh, but [C]it was you who took me in and saved me
It seems I've p[Bb]aid you back with slack and broken vows
CHORUS:
And I [Am]woke up in New [Dm]Orleans
[G]Angry at the world and all al[Bb]one
I w[Am]ant you to know [Dm]darling
I l[C]ove you and I want to come back h[Bb]ome[Dm][Bb]
BREAK:
I k[F]now it should have been [Dm]easy
It's t[F]oo late to change the path I c[Dm]hose
This m[Gm]ight not c[Am]ount for n[Bb]othing
Just w[Gm]ant [Bb]you to k[F]now [Dm][F][C][Bb]
CHORUS:
I w[Am]oke up in New [Dm]Orleans
