NEW ORLEANS CHORDS
[Start] [Intro] D Bb Eb C Bb Eb ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] G I was out here playin' devilish games G So it's only right I ended up set up in flames Eb I'm a grown man so I'll never complain C I'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain G I just sit and think about what I never became G I pray everyday that I'm ready to change Eb They say once it's bad that it's never the same C It's like my car broke down on memory lane G I can't wait 'til I face all the critics Eb That ain't never had to face the decisions that I had C To know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up C7 You don't get paid to hate for a livin' G It's so easy to point your finger and judge G Hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud Eb Everything that we was everything we've become C Every war that we won everything that I've done G Ha Lord can you hear my prayer G It's somethin' 'bout the city I can feel I swear Eb I'm on my way God 'cause you're really there C7 Alabama to Mississippi now I'm almost there C7 Before I felt your presence I was almost scared G A trade with the Devil I was almost shared Eb Now I'm headed to the delta where no one cares F Where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared [Chorus] G A G In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream Eb C G Been tryin' to come clean but it ain't what it seems Eb C I found a nightmare in my dreams down in New Orleans G The darkness where the heartless and demons scream Eb C G Been tryin' to come clean but it ain't what it seems Eb C I found a nightmare in my dreams down in New Orleans [Verse] G Heard a rumor they was comin' for me G Saw a glimpse into the future I was smilin' countin' blood money Eb Walkin' down the dark alley street lights flickerin' C C7 Everything around me seemed so different G Figurin' I must be lost bad feelin' in my gut I gotta dust it off Eb I got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off C I keep reachin' for the gun havin' crazy thoughts G I heard a mother cryin' tears fallen from her old eyes Eb Pedal drops as a rose dies see it clear with closed eyes C Gunshot then the crow flies night fall and the smoke rise G Couldn't see the beauty inside all of the darkness G Vengeance and love I get confused with being heartless Eb Heartless cross me out for a couple dollars C C7 Runnin' with the Devil and wonder what trouble follows C7 Standin' in the street surrounded by my past G Every sin I ever committed is takin' me at last Eb Saw karma's face in a black hoodie C7 With some gold teeth and heard the police G Heard a loud scream seen the barrel flash G7 G Felt the sharp pain and now I can't breath Eb Woke up from a dream in New Orleans C Put my hands up as the choir sings [Chorus] G In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream Eb C G Been tryin' to come clean but it ain't what it seems Eb C I found a nightmare in my dreams down in New Orleans G The darkness where the heartless and demons scream Eb C G Been tryin' to come clean but it ain't what it seems Eb C I found a nightmare in my dreams down in New Orleans [Solo] G Eb G Eb C7 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Chorus] C C7 G7 In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream Cm7 C G Been tryin' to come clean but it ain't what it seems ■ Cm7 I found a nightmare in my dreams down in New Orleans G The darkness where the heartless and demons scream Eb C G Been tryin' to come clean but it ain't what it seems Eb C7 C I found a nightmare in my dreams down in New Orleans ■ [End]
