(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
|(Am) / / (C)|(D) / (Am) / |
|(Am) / / (C)|(D) / (Am) / |

(Verse)
(Am) Thirty miles off the (C)Gulf Stream
I (D)hear the south wind (Am)moan
(Am)Bridges getting low-(C)er
(D)Shrimp boats coming home (Am)
But the (Am)old man down in the (C)quarter
(D)Slowly turns his (Am)head
(Am) Takes a sip from his (C)whiskey bottle
And (D) this is what he (Am)said / /

(Chorus)
I was (Am)born in the rain on the (C)Pontchartrain
Under-(D)neath the Louisiana moon (Am)
I (Am)don't mind the strain of a (C)hurricane
It (D)comes around every (E)June
The (Am)high black water, the (C)devil's daughter
She's (D)hard and she's cold and she's (Am)mean
But (Am)nobody taught her
It (C)takes a lot of water to (D)wash away New Orleans

(Instrumental)
|(Am) / (C) / |(D) / (Am) / |
|(Am) / (C) / |(D) / (Am) / |

(Verse)
A (Am)man came down from Chi-(C)cago
He's gonna (D)set that worthy right (Am)
He said, (Am) it needs to be at least (C)three feet higher
Or we (D)won't make it through the night (Am)
But the (Am)old man down in the (C)quarter
Said, (D)don't you listen to that (Am)boy
The (Am)water'll be down by the (C)morning
And he'll be (D)back to Illinois (Am)

(Chorus)
And I was (Am)born in the rain on the (C)Pontchartrain
Under-(D)neath the Louisiana moon (Am)
I (Am)don't mind the strain of a (C)hurricane
It (D)comes around every June (E)
The (Am)high black water, the (C)devil's daughter
She's (D)hard and she's cold and she's (Am)mean
But (Am)nobody taught her
It (C)takes a lot of water to (D)wash away New Orleans (Am)

(Instrumental)

(Verse)
(Am) Thirty miles off the (C)Gulf Stream
I (D)hear the south wind moan (Am)
(Am)Bridges getting (C)lower

(D)Slowly turns his head (Am)
(Am) Takes a sip from his (Am)whiskey bottle
And (D) this is what he said (Am)
