[F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Alligators snap at your ankles
And [F]branches snap [G]at your brain
If I [C]ever get through this swamp alive
I'll [F]nevermore pray [G]for rain

[Verse 2]
[C]This must be the place
And still [F]it somehow don't
seem [G]right
[C]Something in the moon could change
These [F]endless days to [G]lonely
nights
[C][F][G][C]

[Verse 3]
I take a stroll down by the sea
And [F]walk along [G]the pier
[C]Then I slip and hit my head
[F]Now's the time [G]to fear

[Verse 4]
I [G]see the sur[C]face, see the rocks
See my [F]past fly [C]swiftly [G]by
I [C]feel the water in my lungs
And [F]wake up screaming [G]for my life

[Verse 5]
[C]In my blue heaven
There's a [F]bottle of
[G]Pontchartrain
[C]Chalmette by moonlight
[F]To take away [G]the pain

[Verse 6]
[G]Card sharks and [C]blue [F]harps
And dolphins who [C]leap
In my blue heaven
Where [F]I can laugh and I c[G]an weep
[C]

[Verse 7]
Black shapes zip into corners
The [F]big lads start [G]to crawl
To [C]holes of their own making
In [F]the cracks within [G]the wall

[Verse 8]
[C]Snakes and rats and spiders
I [F]know that they're still [G]there
I [C]pray to God that I may sleep
[F]Without a hope, [G]without a care

[Verse 9]
[C]In my blue heaven
There's a [F]bottle of
[G]Pontchartrain
[C]Chalmette by moonlight
[F]To take away [G]the pain

[Verse 10]
[C]Felines [G]and sea[C] lio[F]ns
And rain on the [G]beach
[C]In my blue heaven
With [F]angels who aren't [G]out of reach
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][F]
[G][C][F][G][C][F]
[G][C][F][G]

[Verse 11]
[C]In my blue heaven
There's a [F]bottle of
[G]Pontchartrain
[C]Chalmette by moonlight
[F]To take away [G]the pain

[Verse 12]
[C]Nightin[G]gales [C]sing
[F]And the bells they will [G]ring
[C]In my blue heaven
The [F]bells of Hell
Go [G]ding a ling a ling
