Em G Em G
Bourbon Blues, on the street, loose and complete
Under skies of smokey blue- green
A C A C
I can't forsake a Dixie dead shake
Em G Em G
So we danced the sidewalk clean
B A
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
B A
Hey New Orleans is sinkin', man And I don't want to swim
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said, Hey, north, you're south, shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking 'bout those years
Solo Progression
Em G Em G
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me
Em G Em G
Em G Em G
I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the Lord above and said, Hey, man, thanks
Em G Em G
Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream
Em G Em G
She said, Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean
Em G Em G
She said, she said, I swear to God she said
A C A C
oh no, oh yeak
B A
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
B A
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim. Swim
