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