Well it was out in California
       C           G
By the San Diego Sea
C                   G               D                 G   G7
That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me

         C               G
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy
     C               G
With all those China toys
      C                      G
And I know she really didn't mean a thing
D                   G
To those sailor boys

Louisiana rain
                 G
Is falling at my feet

Baby I'm noticing a change

As I move down the street

          C
Louisiana rain
                      G
Is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same
                   G     C  G
When I reach Baton Rouge

South Carolina
    C                G
Put out its arms for me
      C             G                    D                    G G7
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely street

      C                   G
And I still can't quite remember
    C               G
Who helped me to my feet
      C                   G
Thank God for a long neck bottle
    D             G
The angel's remedy

Louisiana rain
                     G
Is falling just like tears
                Em   A
Running down my face

Washing out the years

This English refugee
C              G               D                G
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery

            C                 G
Yeah he was eating pills like candy
    C                    G
And chasing them with tea
    C                    G                D                 G  G7
You should have seen him lick his lips at old black Molly B
