VERSE 1

G                  D    G

Well it was out in California

       C         G
By the San Diego sea

C                   G               D                
G    G7
That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me



C                        G
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy

C                    G
With all those China toys

C                            G
And I know she really didn't mean a thing

D                   G
To those sailor boys



CHORUS


          C
Louisiana rain

                 G
Is falling at my feet

                    Em     A
Baby I'm noticing a change

                   D
As I move down the street

C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge

 G  G7
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely street

      C                   G
And I still can't quite remember

     C              G
Who helped me to my feet

      C                   G
Thank God for a long neck bottle

    D              G
The angel's remedy



CHORUS

         C
Lousiana rain

                     G
Is falling just like tears

                Em   A
Running down my face

                D
Washing out the years

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge

This English refugee

C              G               D                G
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery

            C                 G
Yeah he was eating pills like candy

    C                    G
And chasing them with tea

    C                    G                D                 
G  G7
You should have seen him lick his lips at old black Molly B.

Running down my face

Washing out the years

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same

                   G
When I reach Baton Rouge
