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