Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D]
This city won't wash [G]away[D]

[Verse 1]
This [A]city [D]ever drown
Blood in the water and hell [G]to pay[D]
Sky tear open and pain [A]rain [D]down
[A]Doesn't matter 'cause come what may
I ain't ever gonna leave [D]this [A]town
[D]This city won't was[A]h awa[D]y
This city [A]won't ever drown
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Ain't the river or the wind to blame
Every around here knows
Nothin' holdin' back [G]Ponchartrain
[D]Except for a prayer
and a promise's ghost
We just [G]carry on diggin' our graves
In solid marble [D]above [A]the ground
[D]Maybe our bones'll wash away
But this city [A]won't [D]ever drown

[Interlude 1]
[D]
[A][D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
This [D]city won't ever die
Just as long as her heart beats strong
Like a second line steppin'
high'
Raisin' hell as we [A]roll [D]along
[G]Gently to the Vieux Carre
Lower Nine, Central [A]City, Uptown
[D]Singin' Jacamo Fee-Nah-Nay
This This city [A]won't [D]ever drown[A]
[G]Doesn't [A]matter [G]'cause
there ain't no way
I'm ever gonna [A]leave this town
[D]This city won't wash away
This city [A]won't [D]ever drown
