[Verse]
                    C          
Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream
D                     A   
I hear the south wind moan
                    C    
The bridges getting lower
D                       A   
The shrimp boats coming home
                        C      
The old man down in the Quarter
D                A   
Slowly turns his head
                     C             
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle
D                   A   
And this is what he said


[Chorus]
                              C            
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
D                        A   
Underneath the Louisiana moon
                             C        
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane
D                      E   
They come around every June
A                      C               
The high black water a devil's daughter
      D                         A   
She's hard she's cold and she's mean
                         G                   
But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water
D                A      
To wash away New Orleans


[Verse]
                   C      
Man came down from Chicago
         D              A    
He gonna set that levee right
                                C                
He says it needs to be at least three feet higher
   D                         A    
It won't make it through the night
                            C      
But the old man down in the Quarter
        D                        A7 
He said don't you listen to that boy
                         C      
The water be down by the morning
             D       A       
And he'll be back to Illinois


[Chorus]
                              C            
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain
D                        A7   A
Underneath the Louisiana moon ■
                             C        
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane
D                      E   
They come around every June
A                      C               
The high black water a devil's daughter
      D                         A   
She's hard she's cold and she's mean
                         G                   
But nobody taught her it takes a lot of water
   Dsus4 D               
To wash  away New Orleans
