God Forsaken Town
By: Reckless Kelly
Intro: Am G C
C F
They say we?ve got to leave but there?s no where to go
C G
This ain?t the first time we?ve weathered out a storm
C F
And I ain?t got nothing but at least I know it?s mine
Am G
And I?ll be God damned if I?m leaving here before the day I die
Chorus:
F C
So let the rain sting my neck
F Am G
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town
F C
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Am G C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
C F
The voices on the radio were cracking off and on
C G
The court is underwater and the levees all but gone
C F
There?s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky
Am G
It?s too late now to run I?d never make it out alive
Chorus:
F C
So let the rain sting my neck
F Am G
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town
F C
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Am G C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
C F
Everyone sit tight help is on the way
C G
I don?t think Jr. is going to last another day
C F
We got a sawed off and a red hot .44
Am G
So all you looters best come heavy when you?re knocking on my door
Chorus:
F C
So let the rain sting my neck
F Am G
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town
F C
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Am G C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
Bridge:
Em F
We all know this crescent city just won?t be the same again
C G
And I?ll still be standin? when the saints go marching in
(Instrumental ? Play chords from chorus)
C F
X?s on the windows say there?s no one left inside
C G
If you count the painted numbers you?ll know just how many died
C F
And I?m one in half a million so at least I?m not alone
Am G
The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on
Chorus:
F C
So let the rain sting my neck
F Am G
Let the mighty Mississippi take this God-forsaken town
F C
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
Am G C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
Am G C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground Please rate for accuracy!
