[Intro]
Am C D Am
Am C D Am
[Verse]
Am C
Thirty miles off the Gulf Stream
D Am
I hear the south wind moan
Am C
Bridges getting lower
D Am
Shrimp boats coming home
Am C
But the old man down in the quarter
D Am
Slowly turns his head
Am C
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle
D Am Am
And this is what he said
[Chorus]
Am C
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
D Am
Underneath the Louisiana moon
Am C
I don’t mind the strain of a hurricane
D E
It comes around every June
Am C
The high black water, the devil’s daughter
D Am
She’s hard and she’s cold and she’s mean
Am
But nobody taught her
C D
It takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
[Instrumental]
Am C D Am
Am C D Am
[Verse]
Am C
A man came down from Chicago
D Am
He’s gonna set that levee right
Am C
He said, it needs to be at least three feet higher
D Am
Or we won’t make it through the night
Am C
But the old man down in the quarter
D Am
Said, don’t you listen to that boy
Am C
The water’ll be down by the morning
D Am
And he’ll be back to Illinois
[Chorus]
Am C
And I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
D Am
Underneath the Louisiana moon
Am C
I don’t mind the strain of a hurricane
D E
It comes around every June
Am C
The high black water, the devil’s daughter
D Am
She’s hard and she’s cold and she’s mean
Am
But nobody taught her
C D Am
It takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
[Instrumental]
