 [VERSE ONE]
  Am                   C 
 Thirty miles off the Gulf Stream
  D                     Am 
 I hear the south wind moan
  Am                   C 
 The bridges gettin' lower
       D                  Am 
 The shrimp boats coming home

         Am                     C
 But the old man down in the Quarter
   D                Am 
 Slowly turns his head
   Am                    C
 Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle and
   D               Am
 This is what he said

 [CHORUS]
        Am                       C 
 I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
   D                       Am 
 Underneath the Louisiana moon
    Am                         C
 I don't mind the strain of a hurricane
       D               E 
 It comes around every June

       Am                      C 
 The high black water, the devil's daughter
        D                             Am 
 She's hard and she's cold and she's mean
        Am                   C 
 But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water
      D                 Am
 To wash away New Orleans

 [VERSE TWO]
  Am                      C 
 A man came down from Chicago
             D                Am 
 He's gonna set that levee right
           Am                        C
 He said, "It needs to be at least three feet higher
        D                        Am 
 Or it won't make it through the night"

          Am                     C 
 But the old man down in the Quarter
          D                      Am 
 Said "Don't you listen to that boy
        Am                     C 
 The water'll be down by the morning
                 D           Am 
 And he'll be back to Illinois"
