Down along the bayou country Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
It was [D]down along
the bayou country
Down around New Orleans
[A]You took my hand,
you said your my man
We'll have a good life you and [D]me

[Verse 2]
It was [D]down along the bayou country
Down in the Cajun [A]land
Momma said: son,
you know before you're done
You're gonna wind up with
a gun in your [D]hand

[Verse 3]
Then [G]I heard that [C]train whistle [G]moanin'[C]
It was [G]rolling on [C]down the [G]line[C]
I got [G]thoughts [C]to straighten out
[G]Places to [C]know [A]about
I'll be home in no [D]time

[Verse 4]
Then I [D]hopped a train down
in Lockport
I headed [A]cross Hattiesburg
I think I knew then I wouldn't
see you again
Goodbye was the last thing I [D]heard

[Verse 5]
Then [G]I met a [C]man up in Green[G]ville
[C]He said he'd giv[G]e me some
[C]real good ad[G]vice
[C]He said: you got[G]ta get sma[C]rt, I did
[G]Here take this gun[C], and kid,
re[A]member to never look [D]twice

[Verse 6]
Now [D]living to me has meant heartache
Life was always something to [A]use
As I look back again, I never could win
I guess I was put down

[Interlude 1]
here to lose
[D][A]
[D]

[Verse 7]
Now I'm [D]alone and locked
in Montgomery
You see I robbed a bank
and shot [A]a man
Their gonna hang me tomorrow
I wish I could borrow my life to

[Outro 1]
live over again
[D][A]
[D][D]
