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