[Verse]
   C
Well I went south

       F             C
With a case of survival

   C
To amend my heart

       G            C
that's paper thin

    C
You see I felt her words

       F             C
and her images filed

      Am
I'm gonna carry my

      G            C    
heart to New Orleans

        C
I have no home to go

      F             C
So I wander awhile

     C
From coast to coast

     G         C
From sin to sin

      C
From the coldest shores

     F              C
To the warmest islands

     Am        
Been around the world

     G          C
Back to New Orleans
[Chorus]
     G
Well she's got pride

     F          C
Like a million lions

   G    
she's got a scar

      F         C
on her velvet face

    F 
she's got a smile

                 C
like a newborn child

   Am
she's gotta walk, 

     G      C
a Stoic Grace
[Verse]
        C
I never slept that night

     F        C
Until my arrival

   C               G         C
I romanticized a long embrace

       C
You see I lost my tongue

     F         C
and burned my Bible

    Am
But made it back home

  G         C
to New Orleans
[Chorus]
    G
Well she's got pride

    F          C
Like a million lions

   G    
she's got a scar

     F         C
on her velvet face

    F 
she's got a smile

                 C
like a newborn child

   Am
she's gotta walk, 

   G     C
a Stoic Grace
[Verse]
        C
Well I held my breath
and I swam for miles
      Am
When all was lost

   G         C
and hell took place

        C
You see it rained all night

     F       C
and the city she flooded

     G
It rained all night

          C
in New Orleans

         G
Yeah it rained all

       F         C
night in New Orleans

      G
Yeah it rained all

       Am       C
night in New Orleans

        Am
Yeah it rained all

    G     C    F   Am  G    C
night in New Orleans
