Band: Woodbox Gang Album: Born With A Tail VERSE 1

A      D    A          F#m
I had a dream I was in New Orleans

E  D        A
Maybe it was heaven

A    D           A         F#m
All I know I wasn't lonesome anymore 

E      D                 A
And the saints were marching in

VERSE 2 Then I met a man chiseled from stone Shared my table at the square Maybe it was Jesus, maybe Iggy Pop We smoked my last cigarette CHORUS 1

A           D   A             F#m
What does it matter heaven or the latter

E            D               A
“I'll pay the tab” said the Nazarene

A                     D A            F#m
We can take all you've got good times or not

E            D             A
With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans

VERSE 3 It was daybreak way out on the levee Iggy is playing washtub in three-quarter time Down by the river I heard some clawhammer banjo Me and Jesus went fishing CHORUS 2 What does it matter the Bayou or El Paso “I'll pay the tab” said the Nazarene High as a fruit bat in Napa Valley With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans VERSE 4 Was it purgatory, was it Checkpoint Charlie's I decided I was staying forever That ol' morning sun maybe it was voodoo I woke up to the whistling southbound train
