Chords for "I'll come back to New Orleans" by Rusty Cage - lyrics

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ The shallow water [F#] shimmers in the street light _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[B] The neon signs can't escape [D] the eye
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ smell [F#] of fish and spice, [Bm] a smell of which can make so nice
[G] _
_ So [A] take me back here before I [D] die _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ And the greatest [D] infection _ [G] is _ that of [D] affection _ [G] And _ I wouldn't [D] have it any [A] other way, _ _ _ _ [D] but what can I say
[F#] My _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[B] _ [C#] _ [D] _ _ _ [F#] circumstance had brought her to [Bm] the city _ _ _ _ _ She's [G] left behind [D] to try and find
[A] A cheap hotel to sleep at night
[D] _ Well hard [F#] times fell and she [Bm] took to stripping _ _ Just [G] a _ 19 year old girl in the grasps [A] of middle aged married men
[G] _ And the bourbon [D] street bullhorn boy, [G] _ _ billowed [D] boasts a beautiful girl
[G] The dance [D] behind black curtains in [A] the night _ And _
_ _ [G] _ _ oh [D] how that stigma [G] follows, just [D] another slut on [G] drugs
And through the [D] drunken slander she [A] held her pride
And _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] I'll come back _ _ [F#] _ [C#] to New [B] Orleans _ [Bm] I _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ hope to find that you're [A] still waiting there for me
Cause [F#m] I'll [D] be back _ _ [F#] _
in New [Bm] Orleans _ _ _ [D] If [Bm] _ _ [G] _ you [A] still _ want [D] me there
_ [F#] She'd _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ only [F#] been two weeks from [Bm] the city _ It'd _
_ _ [G] _ _ only been two [Em] nights [A] for me
_ And _
_ _ [D] _ _ was [F#] it vacation high?
[Bm] It felt so real when we said goodbye
[G] And I hope [A] this feeling _ [D] never fades And _
[E] _ [F#] _ [G] _ the greatest [D] infection _ _ [G] is that of [D] affection
_ [G] And _ I [D] wouldn't have it any other [A] way In _ _
_ _ [G] _ a city [D] full of _ [G] devils
I [D] found an angel there [G] _ And fell in [D] love with a stripper
[A] But I never saw her [D#] dance _ _ _ _ _ [D] But I'll come back _ _
[F#] _ to New [B] Orleans _ _
[Bm] I _ [G#] _ _ [G] _ _
hope to find that you're still [A] waiting there for me Cause I'll [D] be back _ [F#] _ in New [Bm] _
Orleans
_ [D] _ _ [G#] If _ [G] _
you [A] still _ want [D] me there
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And the [Bm] shallow water [F#] shimmers in the streetlight And _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ neon signs can't [D] escape the eye _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And the city [F#] sleeps but I [Bm] keep on stirring So _ _ [G] _ _ _ take me [A]
back here [D] before I die _ _
