Knives Of New Orleans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Yeah,
I'd give this last wrinkled [C]dollar
In my pocket that I [G]earned
With a hammer and [C]vice
If I could [G]undo some things
And [C]grow me some wings
[G]Fly out of this quarter ton[C]ight

[Verse 2]
Yeah, to[G]night, every man with a [C]TV
Is seeing [G]a man with my
clothes and my [C]face
In the [G]last thirty minutes
I've gone from a [C]person of interest
To a [G]full blown manhunt underway

[Verse 3]
[C]I did what I did[G]
I have no regret[C]s
When you [G]cross the line
You get what you [C]get[Am]

[Verse 4]
Tonight, a bleeding [D]memory
Is to[G]morrow's guilty [Em]vein
[Am]Your auburn hair on
[D]a faraway sea wall
Scream[G]s across the
[Em]Pontchartrain[Am]
I'm haunted by head[D]lights
And a [G]crescent city [Em]breeze
[C]One wrong turn on Bourbon[D]
Cuts [C]like the [D]knives
of New Orleans
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
I'm a [G]ghost dodging bullets
In [C]all of these alleys
Just [G]looking for my getaway [C]keys
Wrapped [G]up in the night
Hiding [C]out in plain sight
But this [G]grip's getting tight around [C]me

[Verse 6]
Ain't no getting [G]out
That I [C]can see
They'll take me [G]dead
If they ever take [C]me[Am]

[Verse 7]
Tonight, a bleeding [D]memory
Is to[G]morrow's [D]guilty [Em]vein
[Am]Your auburn hair on
[D]a faraway sea wall
Scream[G]s across the
[D]Pontchartrain[Em][Am]
I'm haunted by head[D]lights
[G]And a crescent [D]city [Em]breeze
[C]One wrong turn on Bourbon[D]
Cuts [C]like the knives [D]of New [C]Orleans
Of New Orleans
[D][C]

[Verse 8]
What I wouldn't do
[G]For just one more kis[C]s
I'm all out of time
[G]Honey, it's come down to this
[C]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
I'm haunted by your [D]hazel eyes
And [G]this crescent [D]city [Em]breeze
[C]One wrong turn on Bourbon[D]
Cuts [C]like the [D]knives of New Orleans

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 10]
I did what I [G]did[C]
I [G]did what I [C]did
I did what [G]I did[C]
I did what I did
[G][C]
