Hurricane Angel
Intro: C Am F C, C Am F G, Am C F C, Am C F C G
C Am
On the day the levee broke
F C
The water did rise, The flowers did choke
C Am
I sat in my living room, took one last toke
F G
Then I watched it all drift away
Am C F
Now my credit card's ringing up at thirty percent
Am C F
There's a man in India wondering where the money went
C G F
But I can't pay
C Am
So I sat on my roof In Lake Pontchartrain
F C
Singing woe to my chimney Singing woe to the rain
C Am
A stranger came by I never caught his name
F G
He said he's rowing to the Rio Grande
Am C F
Air Force One a blue streak in the sky
Am C F
Mr. President, You can't afford to lie
C G F
Cause I can't afford to pay
C Am F C
Hurricane Angel I'm lifting my eyes over Baton Rouge
C Am
Lift up your wings let me hear your voice singing
F G
Can you turn these black skies to blue again?
Am C F
I'm laying on the floor of a trailer at night
Am C F
with sixteen refugees waiting on daylight
C G F
I can't pay
C Am
I caught a flatbed ford up to Baton Rouge
F C
with four worn out souls and one corkscrew
C Am
You can drown New Orleans but you can't drown the blues
F G
so bartender pour away
Am C F
Exxon's having one hell of a year
Am C F
three bucks a gallon man they're making it clear
C G F
that I can't pay.
Middle: C Am F C, C Am F G, Am C F C, Am C F C G
C F Am
Lord, Lord, Lord
F C
We haven't spoken in many a day
C Am
I got myself in trouble down in the Ninth Ward
F G
thought I'd send a prayer your way
Am C F
On my windowsill's A stack of insurance bills
Am C F
A man in Delaware says I can't have the pills
C G F
until I can pay
C Am F C
Hurricane Angel I'm lifting my eyes over Baton Rouge
C Am
Lift up your wings let me hear your voice singing
F G
Can you turn these black skies to blue again?
Am C F
I'm laying on the floor of a trailer at night
Am C F
with sixteen refugees waiting on daylight
C G F
I can't pay
C G F
Somebody should pay
C Am
On the day the levee broke
F C
The water did rise and the flowers did choke
C Am
I sat in my living room, took one last toke
F C
and I watched it all drift away
