D 
This pain 
   G               D 
Is deeper than the Pontchartrain 
G            D  
Now that I?m alone again 
             A 
After losing you  
                  D 
I?m going down to Basin Street 
                 G 
Where the broken dreamers meet 
                D              A 
Where my broken heart can beat 
          D 
Louisiana Blue. 

Refrão -------------
      G                        D 
Those muddy bayous run just as black at Coca-Cola 
E                       A 
Ain?t no place I can be bluer, that I now of 
          D 
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar 
    G     G/F#      Em        
Put on my travelin? shoes 
A                               G    A    D 
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue.

D 
You should see 
     G                D 
This heart that you returned to me 
G        D 
Now it only yearns to be 
                  A 
On the next train through 
               D 
I just want to disappear 
              G 
Headin? South away from here 
               D             A 
Runnin? till I turn my tears 
          D 
Louisiana Blue. 
 
Chorus: 
G D E A  
 
D 
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar 
    G     G/F#      Em        
Put on my travelin? shoes 
A                               G    A    D 
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue 
          D                             G      G/F# Em 
I?m gonna raise the Misssissippi River, cryin? over you 
A                               G    A    D 
Go down to New Orleans and turn Louisiana Blue.
