New Orleans Is Sinking

(use bar chords for G, A, B) Em G Em G Bourbon Blues, on the street, loose and complete Em G Em G Under skies of smokey blue -green A I cant forsake a dixie dead shake Em G Em G So we danced the sidewalk clean B A My memory is muddy, what¹s this river that I¹m in? B Hey New Orleans is sinkin, man A And I dont want to swim Back to Em/G shuffle for second verse Play an ³A² for the yelp (AHHHHHH-HAAA) From ³Pale as a lightbulb...to I swear to GOD she said² do the Em/G shuffle then repeat the ³A² for the AHHHHHH-HAAA yelp then Em/G/Em/G, then B A My memory is muddy, what¹s this river that I¹m in? B Hey New Orleans is sinkin, man A And I dont want to swim Back to Em/G to close This is what is on the archive, from : dave@skatter.usask.ca (Dave Hornidge) I'm not really sure if this is correct, but this is how I play it: The main riff looks like: E|----------------------------| B|----------------------------| G|----------------------------| D|--------2-----------0--0h2--| A|-----------2-----2----------| E|--0--0--------3-------------| I think the bass plays something similiar to this as well. The other catchy little riff looks something like: E|----------0-----------------------------------0--------------------------| B|--3p0--0-----3p0----------------------3p0--0-----3p0---------------------| G|------------------4p0--3p0--2p0-----------------------4p0--3p0--2p0------| D|---------------------------------2p0---------------------------------2---| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------0--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--3p0--0-----3p0---------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------4p0--3p0--2p0--4p0--3p0--2p0--2s4--4--4--4--4----------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| This riff changes alot in the song and I only tabbed one of these variations. Note also that this riff is played much more quickly than the main riff. The best way to figure out how it is to be played is to listen to the disk. I play the main riff a few times and then throw in the other one every now and then. Sorry I don't know the solo. I didn't have time to write out the lyrics. Corrections and comments are welcome. Good Luck! Dave Hornidge (dave@skatter.usask.ca)
