New Orleans Is Sinking
The Tragically Hip
Key : Em
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Em | G | Em | G 
Em | G 
Em G
    All right
Em | G | Em | G | Em | G 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Em G        Em           G      Em                  G
    Bourbon blue, on the street,  loose and complete
      Em        G               Em G
Under skies all smoky blue green
  Am       C      Am              C
I can't forsake a dixie dead shake
      Em         G             Em G
So we danced the sidewalk clean
   Bm                           Am
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
Em             G                 Em              G
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim

[Bridge (1)]
---------------------
Em | G | Em | G | Em | G 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em G        Em          G     Em                G
    Colonel Tom, what's wrong?  What's going on?
          Em           G            Em G
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
              Am            C      Am                 C
He said, Hey, north, you're south, shut your big mouth
          Em          G           Em G
You gotta do what you feel is real
      Bm                              Am
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
   Em             G                Em                  G
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Em          G          Em               G
  Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Em              G               Em            G
  Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Em                G                Em       G
  Picking out the highlights of the  scenery
Em           G                  Em      G    Em  G
Saw a little cloud that looked a  little like  me

[Verse 4]
---------------------
Em G Em G Em G         Em             G       Em                  G
              I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Em                    G         Em             G
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           Em          G Em G
She said,    she said,    I swear to god she said

[Interlude 2]
---------------------
Am Em G Em G  Am    Em G
Ah,         no  yeah
Em G   Bm                           Am
    My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
Bm                               Am
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim

[Outro:]
