[A]
[G] [C] They say we gotta [F] leave but there's no way to go
[C] And this ain't the first [G] time we've weathered out a storm
[C] And I ain't got nothing [F] but at least I know it's mine
[Am] And I'll be goddamned if I'm leaving [G] here before the day I die
[F] So let the rain [C] sting my neck
[F] Let the mighty Mississippi [Am] take this [G] godforsaken town
[F] Let the storm and all the fury [C] come and carry me away
[Am] Take me to that [G] place somewhere on [C] high ground
Voices on the [F] radio are cracking off and on
[C] The cold is underwater [G] and the levees all be gone
[C] There's children in the treetops [F] and soldiers in the sky
[Am] It's too late now to run I'd [G] never make it out [F] alive
So let the rain [C] sting my neck
[F] Let the mighty Mississippi [Am] take this [G] godforsaken town
[F] Let the storm and all the fury [C] come and carry me away
[Am] Take me to that [G] place somewhere on [C] high ground
Everyone sit [F] tight, help is on the way
[C] I don't think Junior's [G] gonna last another day
[C] We got a sawed off [F] and a red hot 44
So [Am] all you looters best come heavy [G] when you're knocking on my [F] door
So let the rain [C] sting my neck
[F] Let the mighty Mississippi take [Am] this [G] godforsaken town
[F] Let the storm and all the fury [C] come and carry me away
[Am] Take me to that [G] place somewhere on [C] high ground
[Em] We all know this Crescent City [F] just won't be the same again
[C] I'll still be standing [G] when the Saints go marching [F] in
[C] [F]
[Am] [G] [F]
[C] [Am]
[G] [C] The X's on the windows [F] say there's no one left inside
[C] If you count the painted numbers you [G] know just how many died
[C] And I wanted half a million [F] so at least I'm not alone
[Am] The hurricane is over [G] but the storm keeps raging [F] on
So let the rain [C] sting my neck
[Em] [F] Let the mighty Mississippi [Am] take this [G] godforsaken town
[F] Let the storm and all the fury [C] come and carry me away
[Am] Take me to that [G] place somewhere on [C] high ground
[Am] Take me to that [G] place somewhere on [C] high ground
[Am] [G] [C]
