[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][C][Am][F][G]
[Am][C][F][C][Am][C]
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
On the day [Am]the levee broke
The [F]wa ter did rise, [C]the flowers did choke
I sat in my living room, lit [Am]one last smoke
Then I [F]watched it all drift [G]away

[Verse 2]
Now my cred[Am]it card's r[C]inging
up [F]at thirty percent
There's [Am]a man in [C]india won
[F]dering where the money went
But [C]I c[G]an't pay
[F]

[Verse 3]
So [C]I sat on my roof in [Am]lake
pontchartrain
Singing [F]woe to my chimney
singing [C]woe to the [G]rain
[C]A stranger came by I never
[Am]caught his name
He said he's [F]rowing to the rio [G]grande

[Verse 4]
[Am]Air force one a [C]blue s[F]treak in the sky
Mr. [Am]president, you can't af[F]ford to lie
Cause [C]I can't aff[G]ord to pay
[F]

[Verse 5]
Hurricane [C]angel [Am]I'm lifting
my [F]eyes over baton [C]rouge
Lift up your wings let me
[Am]hear your voice singing
Can you [F]turn these black
skies [G]to blue again?

[Verse 6]
I'm [Am]laying on the floor of
[F]a trailer at night
[Am]With sixteen refugees [F]waiting on daylight
[C]I c[G]an'[F]t pay

[Verse 7]
I caught [C]a flatbed ford up
[Am]to baton rouge
With four [F]worn out souls
and one [C]corkscrew
You can drown new orleans but
you can[Am]'t drown the blues
So bar[F]tender pour [G]away[Am]
exxon's having [C]one [F]hell of a year
[Am]Three bucks [C]a gallon man they're mak[F]ing it clear that [C]I[G][C]
[G]can't pay.

[Interlude 1]
[F][Am][F][C][F][C]
[F][G][Am][C][F][C][Am][C][F][C][G]
[C]
Lord, [Am]lord, lord

[Verse 8]
We haven't [F]spoken in many a day
[C]I g[G]ot [C]myself in trouble
[Am]down in the ninth ward
Thought I'd [F]send a prayer your [G]way

[Verse 9]
[Am]On m[C]y windowsill's
[F]A stack of insurance bills
[Am]A man in [C]delaware [F]says I can't have
the pills [C]until [G]I c[C]an [G]pay
[F]

[Verse 10]
Hurricane [C]angel [Am]I'm lifting my
[F]eyes over baton [C]rouge[G][C]
Lift up your [G]wings let me
[Am]hear your voice [C]singing
Can [F]you turn these black
skies to [G]blue again?

[Verse 11]
I'm [Am]laying on the floor [C]of
[F]a trailer at night
[Am]With sixteen refugees [F]waiting on daylight
[C]I c[G]an'[F]t pay[C][G]
[F]

[Verse 12]
[C]
On the day [Am]the levee broke
The wa[F]ter did rise and
[C]the flowers did choke
I sat in my living room lit [Am]one last smoke
And I watched [F]it [C]all drift away
