Sweet Louisiana Sound

 
Capo on 3rd fret. Chords are relative to the capo.

 

Intro: D A Bm G A G A G (X2)

 

D             A Bm

   Lookin' out     from a hotel room

G A    G            A     G

  All alone on a Memphis afternoon

          D           A Bm

I've been  waitin' for

                   G A

This storm to pass

              G                A       G

Gonna clear a path and you can kiss my ass, goodbye

 

Intro chords

 

(same as first verse)

I walk the streets where Elvis lived

But they ain't never gonna crown me king

And I never felt that broken hearted

I left before things ever got started

 

Chorus:

D                 G        A

They got me on a riverboat driftin' down

D                     G           A

Oh muddy water get me out of town

D       Bm    Em        G     A

To that sweet Louisiana sound

 

(Verse 3)

D         A Bm

Underneath     a neon light

G  D      A          Bm            A     

  Another ghost down Beal street tonight

G              A

I ain't out to hurt nobody

  G                     A

But I played my hand I lost all my money

D                A    Bm

They've got the dogs out after me

G A                        G                A   G

    They're diggin' in the trash but there's no scent of me

 

(Chorus)

 

(Just like verse 3)

Harley boys out on Bourbon streets

Sweepin' them young girls right off of their feet

They got those love tattoos

Across their heart

They've been making their vows in Mardi Gras

Turn the jukebox loud as it can go

Pack'em inside this our last show

 

(Chorus x 2)
