C Em
Colorado passes by like writing on a wall
F C
Headed eastward down to New Orleans
C Em
Dippin' into Texas as the stars are fading out
F G
There's still a lot of country in between
Am F C
When I left California I was 29 years old
F C Dm C G
And the world just spun me around
C F C
Now I watched Louisiana scroll across the window pane
Dm F
And I face in the direction I am bound
Dm C G C F
Co-ver up the sun
Dm C G C F
Let the river run
Dm C G C F
Make that water come
C
Wash me away
C Em
Me, Clifton, and the king of cats, we sat down in the road
F C
Pedro said, "Boys, we're three of a kind,"
C Em
He said "I sat with river rats and hung my hat with diplomats
F G
Had four brothers once upon a time"
Am F C
He said they toured the country far away from the Rio Grande
F C Dm C G
And the road just wore them down
C F C
So they bought a house beside a lake, outside of New Orleans
Dm F G
And they stared in the direction of the escalating sound
Dm C G C F
Cover up the sun
Dm C G C F
Let the river run
Dm C G C F
Take this good man's son
C
And wash him away
C Em
Well Sister Indecipherable is talkin to a wall
F C
Back in New York city, she's a queen (New York she's a queen)
C Em
Well, resurrect or genuflect, she saves the one she can't protect
F G
Keeps the chapel Pris- if not Sis-tine
Am F C
She drinks Absinthe mixed with Kerosene to keep herself upright
F C Dm C G
But the world still brings her down
C F C
If you can't keep your shit together when God is on your side
Dm F
What chance do you have when he's not around?
Dm C G C F
Cover up the sun
Dm C G C F
Make that water run
Dm C G C F
Let the river come
C
To wash me away
C Em
People of the Mardi Gras, in their Tuesday best
F C
Waiting for the South to rise again
C Em
Children of Geronimo grieving for the West
F G
Feather-dressed and marching their refrain
Am F C
Oh in the dark of Armstrong Park the marching bands attend
F C Dm C G
But they never make a sound
C F C
Just a quiet prayer for Congo Square, a silent conversation there
Dm A# G
With the night to rest our eyes in we just look to the horizon for the change
Dm C G C F
Cover up the sun
Dm C G C F
Let the river run
Dm C G C F C
I pray the waters come to wash me away
Dm C G C F
Colour in the sky
Dm C G C F
Make that diesel fly
Dm C G C F C
Oh, just lay me down to die and just take me away.
