D5 
This pain 
   G5               D5 
Is deeper than the Pontchartrain 
G5            D5  
Now that I?m alone again 
             A5 
After losing you  
                  D5 
I?m going down to Basin Street 
                 G5 
Where the broken dreamers meet 
                D5              A5 
Where my broken heart can beat 
          D5 
Louisiana Blue. 

Refr?o -------------
      G5                        D5 
Those muddy bayous run just as black at Coca-Cola 
E5                       A5 
Ain?t no place I can be bluer, that I now of 
          D5 
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar 
    G5     G5      E5        
Put on my travelin? shoes 
A5                               G5    A5    D5 
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue.

D5 
You should see 
     G5                D5 
This heart that you returned to me 
G5        D5 
Now it only yearns to be 
                  A5 
On the next train through 
               D5 
I just want to disappear 
              G5 
Headin? South away from here 
               D5             A5 
Runnin? till I turn my tears 
          D5 
Louisiana Blue. 
 
Chorus: 
G5 D5 E5 A5  
 
D5 
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar 
    G5     G5      E5        
Put on my travelin? shoes 
A5                               G5    A5    D5 
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue 
          D5                             G5      G5 E5 
I?m gonna raise the Misssissippi River, cryin? over you 
A5                               G5    A5    D5 
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue.
