Intro: Am G C
C F They say we’ve got to leave but there’s no where to go C G This ain’t the first time we’ve weathered out a storm C F And I ain’t got nothing but at least I know it’s mine Am G And I’ll be God damned if I’m leaving here before the day I die
Chorus:
F C So let the rain sting my neck F Am G Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town F C Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Am G C Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground C F The voices on the radio were cracking off and on C G The court is underwater and the levees all but gone C F There’s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky Am G It’s too late now to run I’d never make it out alive
Chorus:
F C So let the rain sting my neck F Am G Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town F C Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Am G C Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground C F Everyone sit tight help is on the way C G I don’t think Jr. is going to last another day C F We got a sawed off and a red hot .44 Am G So all you looters best come heavy when you’re knocking on my door
Chorus:
F C So let the rain sting my neck F Am G Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town F C Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Am G C Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
Bridge:
Em F We all know this crescent city just won’t be the same again C G And I’ll still be standin’ when the saints go marching in
(Instrumental – Play chords from chorus)
C F X’s on the windows say there’s no one left inside C G If you count the painted numbers you’ll know just how many died C F And I’m one in half a million so at least I’m not alone Am G The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on
Chorus:
F C So let the rain sting my neck F Am G Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town F C Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away Am G C Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground Am G C Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
