CAPO 1
Wel[C]l I went south
With a [F]case of surviv[C]al
To [C]amend my heart
that's [G]paper thin[C]
You [C]see I felt her words
and her[F] images filed[C]
I'm go[Am]nna carry my
heart [G]to New Orlean[C]s
I have n[C]o home to go
So I w[F]ander awhile[C]
From [C]coast to coast
From [G]sin to sin[C]
From t[C]he coldest shores
To th[F]e warmest islan[C]ds
Been [Am]around the world
Back [G]to New Orle[C]ans
Well [G]she's got pride
Like [F]a million l[C]ions
she[G]'s got a scar
on her[F] velvet fa[C]ce
she'[F]s got a smile
like a newborn ch[C]ild
she[Am]'s gotta walk,
a Sto[G]ic Grac[C]e
I never [C]slept that night
Until[F] my arriv[C]al
I r[C]omanticized a lo[G]ng embrace[C]
You see[C] I lost my tongue
and b[F]urned my B[C]ible
But [Am]made it back home
to[G] New Orlea[C]ns
Well[G] she's got pride
Like[F] a million [C]lions
she[G]'s got a scar
on he[F]r velvet f[C]ace
she'[F]s got a smile
like a newborn ch[C]ild
she[Am]'s gotta walk,
a S[G]toic G[C]race
Well I h[C]eld my breath
and I swam for miles
When a[Am]ll was lost
and[G] hell took[C] place
You see [C]it rained all night
and t[F]he city [C]she flooded
It ra[G]ined all night
in New Orl[C]eans
Yeah it r[G]ained all
night i[F]n New Orle[C]ans
Yeah i[G]t rained all
night i[Am]n New Orl[C]eans
Yeah it [Am]rained all
nigh[G]t in N[C]ew Or[F]lean[Am]s[G][C]
