D
This pain
GD
Is deeper than the Pontchartrain
GD
Now that I?m alone again
A
After losing you
D
I?m going down to Basin Street
G
Where the broken dreamers meet
DA
Where my broken heart can beat
D
Louisiana Blue.
Refr'o -------------
GD
Those muddy bayous run just as black at Coca-Cola
EA
Ain?t no place I can be bluer, that I now of
D
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar
GG/F#Em
Put on my travelin? shoes
AGAD
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue.
--------------------
D
You should see
GD
This heart that you returned to me
GD
Now it only yearns to be
A
On the next train through
D
I just want to disappear
G
Headin? South away from here
DA
Runnin? till I turn my tears
D
Louisiana Blue.
Chorus:
GDEAD
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar
GG/F#Em
Put on my travelin? shoes
AGAD
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue
DGG/F#Em
I?m gonna raise the Misssissippi River, cryin? over you
AGAD
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue.
