[Verse]
Em G Em G Bourbon Blues, on the street, loose and complete Em G Em G Under skies of smokey blue -green A C A C I cant forsake a dixie dead shake Em G Em G So we danced the sidewalk clean B A My memory is muddy, what?s this river that I?m in? B Hey New Orleans is sinkin, man A And I dont want to swim Em G Em G Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on? Em G Em G You can't tie yourself up for a deal A C A C He said, Hey, north, you're south, shut your big mouth Em G Em G You gotta do what you feel is real B A Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs B A My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years Em G Em G Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire Em G Em G Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire Em G Em G Picking out the highlights of the scenery Em G Em G Em Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me Em G Em G I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks Em G Em G Looked up to the lord above and said, Hey, man, thanks Em G Em G Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream Em G Em G She said, Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean A She said, she said, I swear to god she said B A My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in? B A New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim
