[Intro]
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
[Verse]
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream, I hear the south wind moan
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The bridge is gettin' lower, the shrimp boats comin' home
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The old man down in the Quarter, slowly turns his head
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and, this is what he said
[Chorus]
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain, underneath the Loosiana moon
Am C D E
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, they come around every June
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The high black water, a devil's daughter, she's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
Am G D Am Am
But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water, to wash away New Orleans
*** Active strumming starts at the Am in "Orleans" above ***
[Verse]
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
Man came down from Chicago, he gonna set that levee right… he says,
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
It needs to be at least three feet higher, it won't make it through the night
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
But the old man down in the Quarter, he said don't you listen to that boy
Am C Dadd9add4 Am Am
The water be down by the mornin', and he'll be back to Illinois
[Chorus]
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain, underneath the Loosiana moon
Am C D E
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane, they come around every June
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The high black water, a devil's daughter, she's hard, she's cold, and she's mean
Am G D Am
But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water, to wash away New Orleans

The bridge is gettin' lower, the shrimp boats comin' home
Am C Dadd9add4 Am
The old man down in the Quarter, slowly turns his head
Am C Dadd9add4 Am N.C. N.C. N.C.
Takes a drink from his whiskey bottle and, this is what he said
*** Stop strumming at "said" and go a capella until Am at "High black water" ***
[Chorus]
N.C. N.C. N.C. N.C.
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain, underneath the Loosiana moon

Am G D Am
But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water, to wash away New Orleans
*** Switch back to one strum per bar only for next 3 bars, then back to normal at "Orleans" ***
Am G D Am Am Am Am
But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water, to wash away New Orleans
