Aaron Neville - Louisiana 1927

      [Verse]
G                    D/F#      Em       Em7
What has happened down here is the winds have  changed
Am7                   C          C      G
Clouds roll in from the north and it start to rain
G         D/F#   Em                   Em7
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
C                      D                  CG
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline


[Verse]
G                D/F#   Em           Em7
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
C             D
Some people got lost in the flood
C                   G
Some people got away alright
G                   D/F#   Em                 Em7
The river have busted through, clear down to Plaque  mines
C                      D                   C G
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline 


[Chorus]
G         D/F#    Em Em7
Louisiana, Louisiana 
                  C
They're tyrin' to wash us away
                  C       G
They're tryin' to wash us away 


[Verse]
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand
President say "little fat man, isn't it a shame?"
What the river has done to this poor cracker's land


[Chorus]
G         D/F#    Em Em7
Louisiana, Louisiana 
                  C
They're tyrin' to wash us away
                  C       G
They're tryin' to wash us away 
                  C
They're tyrin' to wash us away
                  C       G
They're tryin' to wash us away
