Chords

Steve Earle does lots of modulation on the D (mostly sus2 and sus4 from what I can tell)

D
Blood in the water, and Hell to pay
Sky tear open and pain rain down

[tab]G
Doesn't matter let come what may

Em
I ain't ever gonna leave this town

D
This city won't wash away

This city won't ever drown

D
Ain't the river or the wind to blame

As everybody around here knows Nothing holding back Pontchartrain 'cept a prayer and a promise's ghost

G
This town's digging our graves 

Em
In solid marble above the ground

D
Maybe our bones will wash away

But this city won't ever drown

D
This city won't ever die

Just as long as our heart beats strong Like a second line steppin' high Raisin' hell as we roll along

G
Gentille to Vieux Carre

Em
Lower 9, Central City, Uptown

D
Singing jockamo fee nané

This city won't ever drown

G
Doesn't matter 'cause there ain't no way

Em
I'm ever gonna leave this town

D
This city won't wash away

This city won't ever drown.
