This City chords

[D]This city won't wash away
This city won't ever drown
Blood in the water, and Hell to pay
Sky tear open and pain rain down

[G]Doesn't matter let come what may
[Em]I ain't ever gonna leave this town
[D]This city won't wash away
This city won't ever drown

[D]Ain't the river or the wind to blame
As everybody around here knows
Nothing holding back Pontchartrain
'cept a prayer and a promise's ghost

[G]This town's digging our graves
[Em]In solid marble above the ground
[D]Maybe our bones will wash away
But this city won't ever drown

[D]This city won't ever die
Just as long as our heart beats strong
Like a second line steppin' high
Raisin' hell as we roll along

[G]Gentille to Vieux Carre
[Em]Lower 9, Central City, Uptown
[D]Singing jockamo fee nané
This city won't ever drown

[G]Doesn't matter 'cause there ain't no way
[Em]I'm ever gonna leave this town
[D]This city won't wash away
This city won't ever drown.
