Capo 2
Intro:
Em C G D (2X)
Em C G D
Well I walked on down to Bourban Street
Em C G D
I'm lookin for the house of New Orleans
Em C G D
I sold off all my whiskey
Em C G D
I bummed a cigarette from a man who had no arms
Em C G D
And I asked him for directions
Em C G D
He just turned around and walked on down the road
[Refrão] Em C G D
And I remember the night we danced out in the rain
Em C G D
And I remember the night she held me through my pain
Em C G D
I know there's times I feel like I could go insane
Em C D
But I remember the night that we danced in the rain
Em C G D (2X)
Well I walked on down to the water's edge
Watched the Mississippi river boats flyin down that water line
And I watched couples walkin in the sand and holdin hands
I got lost that night in the shadow of the damned
