Louisiana Love

No capo

Intro:  D G (x2)


(Verse 1)
     D                            
The tension in the air is so damn thick,
 	    G
you could cut it with a knife, stir it with a stick
           D   	  	  	  	  G
it's like Mississippi mud, mmm, when it gets in your blood
 D                                         G
Steam's rolling up off a blacktop street, sweating like a
  	  	  	  	       D
sinner with a front pew seat in the church house
 	  	  	 G
Hot enough to run the devil out


(pre-chorus)
     A             
And here I am thinkin' 'bout the preacherman's daughter with
     C                     G
The hair as black as the bayou water, and her


(Chorus)
 	    D                Am7                C                  G
Louisiana love, hot summer night, hundred and five degrees fahrenheit
             D          Am7              C  G
Feeling the heat underneath that cajun moon
  	     D  	  	       Am7              C                     G
Taking our time, moving real slow, building a fire and watching it grow
           C       G/B        Am7   G         D
Until it's burning out of control, Louisiana love


(Verse 2)
   D                  	  	  	     G
A hot pot of crawfish boiling red, as she breaks off a tail,
   	  	        D                    G
sucks on the head and hands one to me, oooooohweee
     D              	  	  	  	  G
We sneak to the dock, grab a hickory pole,  and lay out a blanket
 	  	  	      D  	  	  	     G
in her papa's pea row, and float away, down to the Pontchartrain


(pre-chorus)
A 	  	  	 
Try and keep it quiet, be a little cautious
 	 C                      G
I'd be alligator bait if the preacherman caught us, making


chorus


bridge
C    G               D
Oooooooh, Louisiana love
C    G 	  	  	  A
Oooooooh,  I can't get enough


chorus
(no chords)      D  Am7                C                  G
Louisiana love         hundred and five degrees fahrenheit
 	      D          Am7 	          C  G
Feeling the heat underneath that cajun moon
 	     D                 Am7              C                     G
Taking our time, moving real slow, building a fire and watching it grow
           C       G/B        Am7   G         D
Until it's burning out of control, Louisiana love

          C           G/B    Am7            G         D
Like the fire burning in my soul, that's a Louisiana love
