St. Anne's Parade

[Intro] G  C  G  D  G

       G                           
By the looks of everyone it's been 
  C
a long two weeks
       G                           
Coming up on the business end of a 
D
goodluck streak
         G                     
Gave 'em hell in New York City, 
        C
headed down to New Orleans
G                               D
Drove across Mississippi in the rain

         G                      
It don't seem to freeze too much 
         C
down in New Orleans
        G                          
But the rain can sure wash out the 
D
street
               G                   
We crossed the snowline, man it was
 C
 just in time
                   G              
They're diggin 'em out everywhere 
D                 G
north of the Chesapeake

        C                       
And I'm up too damn early in the 
 G
morning
C                               
Watching the world around me come 
   D
alive
      C            D       G     
And I need more fingers to count 
    D/F#   Em
the ones I love

     C               D       G
This life may be too good to survive

     G                             
They cancelled a parade or two for 
C
weather
    G                              
The kings and saints their robes 
          D
all soaking wet
        G                          
We were happy just to all be there 
  C
together
              G                
Stoned on the porch smoking all 
 D                   C
Niki's cigarettes

           G                       
We've been riding down this highway
         C
 now for all these years
G                               D
Breathing in the dust along the way
             G                     
But it's the kindness of a friend 
           C
is what's remembered in the end
        G              D          
It is a debt that is a pleasure to
   G
 repay

       C                     
And it never feels like we're 
             G
getting any older
        C                          
But the memories build up around 
  D
the eyes
      C            D           G 
And I need more fingers then I 
    D/F#    Em
got on my two hands
     C               D          G
This life may be too good to survive

                   Em      F#m7   
We were dressed to celebrate your 
G
wedding day
   D                      Em
We marched along with the St. Anne's
 Parade
C                              G
Sang out our hearts while they sent 
away their dead
    Am                            
The sun shone on the river and we 
D
begin our lives instead

        C                       
And I'm up too damn early in the 
 G
morning
              C                    
But I can't remeber ever feeling so
  D
 alive
    C           D          G     
And I need more fingers to count 
    D/F#   Em
the ones I love
     C               D       Em
This life may be too good to survive
     C               D       G
This life may be too good to survive
