Delta Spirit - French Quarter Chords & Tabs

Great song from the best
new band in America...


C#m             F# 
French Quarter, quarter to four
C#m                     F#
The town is empty like a nuclear war
C#m               F#	
The levee broke on Pontchartrain
C#m                  F#
I'm feeling blue like John Coltrane
      B               Ebm E
Oh its fine baby
              B                Ebm E E7
Oh I swear its fine, lover
C#m                 F#
Carpetbagger tried to fix my house
C#m               F#
Low baller tried to put me out
C#m             F#
At least I got my gospel stone
C#m            F#
My house fell into the swamp
    B                 Ebm      E
Well I need somebody to help me out
B                       Ebm     E
I've lost it all but I've got my health

    B        Bb/B          
You, you oughta know
          G#m                
You've been kicking me around
   F#                          E
And I don't want to lose my own home
          Ebm          C#m
It ain't no joke; I was raised in this town
   C#m  Ebm  E  F#  B
The south is in my blood
         Bb/B           G#m        
Its in the mud, they were clearing out my house 
     F#                        E              Ebm
But I teared it all down to the stud, all this love 
         C#m                     F#7
Is what's fixing my house, fixing up my house
