[Verse]
Am C Thirty miles off the Gulf Stream
D AmI hear the south wind moan
Am CBridges getting lower
D AmShrimp boats coming home
Am CBut the old man down in the quarter
D AmSlowly turns his head
Am CTakes a sip from his whiskey bottle
D Am AmAnd this is what he said
[Chorus]
Am CI was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
D AmUnderneath the Louisiana moon
Am CI don’t mind the strain of a hurricane
D EIt comes around every June
Am CThe high black water, the devil’s daughter
D AmShe’s hard and she’s cold and she’s mean
AmBut nobody taught her
C DIt takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
[Instrumental]

Am CA man came down from Chicago
D AmHe’s gonna set that worthy right
Am CHe said, it needs to be at least three feet higher
D AmOr we won’t make it through the night
Am CBut the old man down in the quarter
D AmSaid, don’t you listen to that boy
Am CThe water’ll be down by the morning
D AmAnd he’ll be back to Illinois
[Chorus]
Am CAnd I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
D AmUnderneath the Louisiana moon
Am CI don’t mind the strain of a hurricane
D EIt comes around every June
Am CThe high black water, the devil’s daughter
D AmShe’s hard and she’s cold and she’s mean
AmBut nobody taught her
C D AmIt takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans
