God Forsaken Town - Reckless Kelly

Intro: Am  G  C

C 	  	  	            F
They we say we�ve got to leave but there�s no way to go
C 	  	  	  	  G
This ain�t the first time we�ve weathered out a storm
C 	  	  	  	 F
And I ain�t got nothing but at least I know it�s mine
 	     Am 	  	  	  	      G
And I�ll be god damned if I�m leaving here before the day I die


(Chorus)
F 	  	           C
So let the rain sting my neck
F 	  	  	  	      Am            G
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town
        F 	  	  	          C
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
      Am 	           G     	  	  	 C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground


The voices on the radio were cracking off and on

The court is underwater and the levees all but gone

There�s children in the treetops and soldiers in the sky

It�s too late now to run I�d never make it out alive

(Chorus)

Everyone sit tight help is on the way

I don�t think Jr. is going to last another day

We got a sawed off and a red hot .44

So all you looters best come heavy when you�re knocking on my door

(Chorus)


(Bridge)
Em 	  	  	  	          F
We all know this crescent city just won�t be the same again                    	 C 	  	             G
And I�ll still be standin� when the saints go marching in 


(Instrumental � Play chords from chorus)


X�s on the windows say there�s no one left inside

If you count the painted numbers you�ll know just how many died

And I�m one in half a million so at least I�m not alone

The hurricane is over but the storm keeps raging on

(Chorus)
F 	  	  	    C
So let the rain sting my neck
F 	  	  	  	  	 Am         G
Let the mighty Mississippi take this god-forsaken town
        F 	  	  	         C
Let the storm and all the fury come and carry me away
      Am 	           G     	  	  	 C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
      Am 	           G     	  	  	 C
Take me to that place somewhere on higher ground
