[Verse]
Em                     G       Em          G
Bourbon Blues, on the street, loose and complete
       Em      G             Em     G
Under skies of smokey blue -green
   A         C     A           C
I cant forsake a dixie dead shake
       Em         G         Em    G
So we danced the sidewalk clean
   B                            A
My memory is muddy, what?s this river that I?m in?
    B         
Hey New Orleans is sinkin, man
    A
And I dont want to swim
Em                     G       Em          G
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
     Em      G             Em     G
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
  A         C               A                 C
He said, Hey, north, you're south, shut your big mouth
         Em         G         Em    G
You gotta do what you feel is real
B                                     A            
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
    B                                   A
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years
Em              G       Em            G
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Em              G       Em            G
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Em              G       Em            G
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Em              G       Em            G         Em
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me
Em                       G        Em                   G
I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Em                       G        Em                   G
Looked up to the lord above and said, Hey, man, thanks
Em    G              Em                   G
Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream
Em                  G              Em                   G
She said, Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean
                                                        A
She said, she said, I swear to god she said
B                                  A
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
B                            A
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim
Swim
