            G      D   G
Well it was out in California

       C         G
By the San Diego Sea

C                   G               D                 G
That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me

         C               G
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy

     C               G
With all those China toys

      C                      G
And I know she really didn't mean a thing

D               G
To those sailor boys
[Chorus]
          C
Louisiana rain

                 G
Is falling at my feet

                    Em
Baby I'm noticing a change

A7                   D
As I move down the street

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge

G     D   G
South Carolina

C                    G
Put out its arms for me

C                   G                D                   G
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely street

    C               G
And I still can't remember

    C               G
Who helped me to my feet

C               G
Thank God for a long neck bottle

    D           G
The angel's remedy
[Chorus]
          C
Louisiana rain

                     G
Is falling just like tears

                Em
Running down my face

A               D
Washing out the years

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge
[Guitar Solo] G C G C G D G [Verse 3]
G            D        G
Well I never will get over

     C           G
This English refugee

C                  G           D              G
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery

            C                 G
Yeah he was eating pills like candy

    C                 G
And chasing them with tea

    C                    G                D               G
You should have seen him lick his lips at old black Molly B.
[Chorus]
          C
Louisiana rain

Baby I'm noticing a change

As I move down the street

Is soaking through my shoes

Is falling just like tears

                Em
Running down my face

A               D
Washing out the years

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same

                   G
When I reach Baton Rouge
