_ _ [B] _ _ [E] My son, he [B] has loved me [E] for good. _ _
_ After I [B] gave him my love [E] for so long,
_ _ _ [B] she's out there [F#] with somebody [B] new. _ _
[F#m] _ _ And I just can't [D#] sit [E] here alone, oh no. _ _
But it's so hard to drive with these tears in my eyes.
And it takes [A] a long time _ to get to [A#] that roof. _ _ _ _
[E] And all I want is [B] to hear _ [E] our grateful new sing [A] my song.
[F#] The Cajun _ [B] man gives the [E] blues. _ _

[E] _ _ _ When [B] I'm feeling _ [F#m] the weight [E] of the waters, _ _ _
[B] Lord I know [F#] that there's blood [E] all in the corner.
If I could hold back [A] my tears, [G#] [A] I could make it there.
_ I'd be all right.
But [B] I might need you in New Orleans [Em] _ [B] _ _ [C#] every night
_ [E] _
_ [B] when I'd be [E] home without you.
_ When you've been there, [Bm] Lord, for me, all [E] the while. _ _ _
From [C#] Lafayette to Thibodeau [B] to Lake Charles,
_ [F#m] _ _ [B] love from country [F#m] all the way to [E] Grand Isle. _
Oh, when I'm feeling the pain,
_ I use calling my name.
[A] And that's an offer _ that I can't [A#] refuse.
_ [Em] _
[E] It's hard _ [B] to miss you, _ [E] _
_ [A] Louisiana, _ [F#] when a Cajun man [B] _ _ [E] gives the blues. _ _
I said, oh, _ [B] I miss you, [E] _ Louisiana, [A] _ _ [F#] when this Cajun man _ [B] has got the [E] blues. _ _
