Intro: 

  Em  C  G  D  (2X) 

Em      C                G           D 

Well I walked on down to Bourban Street 


Em                 C              G       D 

I'm lookin for the house of New Orleans 


Em    C               G        D 

    I sold off all my whiskey 

Em          C               G              D 

I bummed a cigarette from a man who had no arms 


Em    C             G         D 

And I asked him for directions 


Em       C                G                   D 

He just turned around and walked on down the road 

      Em           C         G                D 

And I remember the night we danced out in the rain 

      Em           C         G                D 

And I remember the night she held me through my pain 

               Em      C         G            D 

I know there's times I feel like I could go insane 

      Em           C             D 

But I remember the night that we danced in the rain 

Em    C     G     D    (2X) 



Well I walked on down to the water's edge 

Watched the Mississippi river boats flyin down that water line 

And I watched couples walkin in the sand and holdin hands 

I got lost that night in the shadow of the damned
