  • Difficulty: Beginner
Key: CIntro:

C   F   Am   (x2)

♫ Verse 1:
C     F               Am
Empty birdcage in her room
C        F              Am
Curtains pulled against the moon
C                     F
Follow her down to Louisiana
C          F
Hotel room bedside manner
C        F           Am
God I've got to get back soon
🎸

Pre-Chorus:
Bb                            C
She wriggles like a fish in a net
Bb                       C
Details you can never forget
Bb           C
One thing or another
Bb                  C
Never any bother considering the regret

♫ Chorus:
Bb        F     C
That's my story
Bb        F     C
Cost a fortune
Bb        F     C
Dm    G
Louisiana

♫ Verse 2:
C     F               Am
Black rain falling in the night
C     F               Am
Strangers meet in the lamp light
C                   F
Once in her life Louisiana
C                  F
Standing alone out on the veranda
C        F              Am
Christ I must have been a sight

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Bb                            C
She struggles like a leaf in the wind
Bb                            C
Waiting for the music to begin
Bb             C
One thing or another
Bb               C
Always miss the other
Bb                    C
Look what a state I'm in

♫ Chorus:
Bb        F     C
That's my story
Bb        F     C
Nothing special
Bb        F     C
Dm    G
Louisiana

♫ Verse 3:
C     F            Am
Billy moved to Abilene
C      F              Am
Lou is searching for morphine
C               F
Next stop is Louisiana
C                    F
No-one there with a welcome banner
C      F              Am
I don't suppose that they're too keen

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Bb                            C
She juggled her gentlemen friends
Bb                   C
And suddenly the war ends
Bb                  C
Coming home finding other men in hiding
Bb         C
Biding her lonely weekends

♫ Chorus:
Bb     F     C
What a story
Bb      F     C
Cast of thousands
Bb        F     C
Dm    G
Louisiana

♫ Verse 4:
C     F            Am
Empty birdcage in her room
C       F              Am
Shadows shrunk against the moon
C                     F
Follow her down to Louisiana
C          F
Hotel room bedside manner
C     F            Am
God I've got to get back soon
C     F            Am
God I've got to get back soon
