I Woke Up in New Orleans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G]
[F]
[Am]I couldn't

[Verse 1]
out
drink anyone for nothing
But I'd [C]act like it 'til I puked or passed out
Oh [G]most nights I could get
away with something
These [F]days I don't seem

[Verse 2]
to stand so proud
[F]
[Am]She asked me why can't
I just stop drinking
[C]Come on babe, we both know it's too late
Oh for [G]either one of us to still
be thinking
[F]That I could live my life some other way

[Verse 3]
[Em]I woke up in [Am]New Orleans
[D]Angry [Dm]at the world and all [F]alone
[Em]I want you to know [Am]darling
I [G]love you and I want to come
back home
[F][Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]
[C]It was les[Am]s than graceful ladies
I've said we'll see
I've [C]drank with scoundrels,
tramps and god damn fools
Oh but [G]I don't think that
much care if it kills me
[F]Living life the mans just passing through

[Verse 5]
The [Am]last few years were stitched
with floss and pipe dreams
A [C]quilt of poor intentions raveled out
Oh but [Gsus4]it was you who
took me in and saved me
It [C]seems I've paid [F]you back with slack
and broken vows

[Verse 6]
[Em]And I woke up in New [Am]Orleans
[Dm]Angry at the world and all alone
[F]I w[Em]ant you to k[Am]now darling
I [G]love you and I want to come
back home
[F][Am][F]

[Verse 7]
[C]I know it should have been [Am]easy
Its too [C]late to change the path I [Am]chose
This [Dm]might not [Em]count [C]for noth[F]ing
Just [Dm]want [F]you to know

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][C][G][F]

[Verse 8]
I woke [Em]up in N[Am]ew Orleans
[Dm]Angry at the world and all alone
[F]I wan[Em]t you to kno[Am]w darling
I [G]love you and I want to come back [F]home
I love [G]you and I want to come back

[Outro 1]
home
[F][Dm][Em][F][Dm][Em]
