VERSE 1

            G      D    G
Well it was out in California

       C           G
By the San Diego Sea

C                   G               D                  G  G7
That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me

         C               G
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy

     C               G
With all those China toys

      C                      G
And I know she really didn't mean a thing

D                   G
To those sailor boys



CHORUS


          C
Louisiana rain

                 G
Is falling at my feet

                    Em     A
Baby I'm noticing a change

                      D
As I move down the street

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                    D
I may never be the same

                   G
When I reach Baton Rouge

G     D   G
South Carolina

    C                G
Put out its arms for me

      C             G                    D                     G  G7
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely street

      C                   G
And I still can't quite remember

    C               G
Who helped me to my feet

      C                   G
Thank God for a long neck bottle

    D             G
The angel's remedy

Louisiana rain

                     G
Is falling just like tears

                Em   A
Running down my face

                D
Washing out the years

          C
Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same

                   G
When I reach Baton Rouge

       G     D         G
Well I never will get over

This English refugee

C              G               D                G
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery

            C                 G
Yeah he was eating pills like candy

    C                 G
And chasing them with tea

    C                    G                D                 G  G7
You should have seen him lick his lips at old black Molly B.

Is falling just like tears

Running down my face

Washing out the years

Louisiana rain

                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

                   D
I may never be the same
