Intro: play twice
(G - D - C - G - C/E - D/F# - G)GDCGC/ED/F#G
I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man, floating down Canal.
GDCGC/ED/F#G
It doesn’t use numbers or moving hands, It always just says now.
GDCGC/ED/F#G
Now you may be thinking that I was had, But this watch is never wrong.
GDCGC/ED/F#G
And if I have trouble the warranty said, Breathe in, breathe out, move on.
Chorus:
DCG
And it rained, It was nothing really new
DCG
And it blew, Seen all that before
DCG
And it poured, The earth began to strain
DCGA#G
Pontchartrain, Leaking through the door, Tides at war
GDCGC/ED/F#G
If a hurricane doesn’t leave you dead, It will make you strong
GDCGC/ED/F#G
Don’t try to explain it, just nod your head, Breathe in, breathe out, move on.
INST play twice
(G - D - C - G - C/E - D/F# - G)Chorus 2:
DCG
And it rained, Nothing really new
DCG
And it blew, Seen all that before
DCG
And it poured, The Earth began to strain
DCGA#G
Pontchartrain, Buried the Ninth Ward, To the second floor.
GDCGC/ED/F#G
According to my watch the time is now, Past is dead and gone
GDCGC/ED/F#G
Don’t try to shake it just nod your head, Breathe in, breathe out, move on.
GDCG
Don’t try to explain it just bow your head,
C/FD/F#CG
Breathe in, breathe out, move on.
