God Forsaken Town

God Forsaken Town Reckless Kelly -Intro: Em D G G C They we say we’ve got to leave but there’s no way to go G D This ain’t the first time we’ve weathered out a storm G C And I ain’t got nothing but at least I know it’s mine Em D And I’ll be God damned if I’m leaving here before the day I die -Chorus: C G So let the rain sting my neck C Em D Let the mighty Mississippi take this God forsaken town C G Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Em D G Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground --- G C The voices on the radio were cracking off and on G D The court is underwater and the levees all but gone G C There’s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky Em D It’s too late now to run I’d never make it out alive -- (Chorus) -- G C Everyone sit tight help is on the way G D I don’t think Jr. is going to last another day G C We got a sawed off and a red hot .44 Em D So all you looters best come heavy when you’re knocking on my door -- (Chorus) -- -Bridge: We all know this crescent city just won’t be the same again And I’ll still be standing when the saints go marching in --- G C X’s on the windows say there’s no one left inside G D If you count the painted numbers you’ll know just how many died G C And I’m one in half a million so at least I’m not alone Em D The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on -Chorus: C G So let the rain sting my neck C Em D Let the mighty Mississippi take this God forsaken town C G Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Em D G Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground Em D G Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
