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

[Verse 1]
Oh, [D]Louisiana
was a [G]glass of water waiting to spill
She [D]sold turqoise jewelry at a truckstop dive,
[A]just so she could pay the bills
[G]I met her at the county fair,
but the [D]county I [A]now forget
[G]I k[A]now of some clean coat
tails and a [G]smile again
[D]

[Verse 2]
She take the flowers, she put a man [G]to sin
She stares out the [D]window,
says she can't see [G]me
She hits the [A]high road,
your bed of fluff through [G]the door
She take the bedroom,
and she give you the floor
[D]

[Verse 3]
I heard she hit the rocks
[G]when I left that town
[D]She was living in an upstate jail,
since her [A]house had just burned down
[G]It appears when the flashing lights
they [D]rush [A]to the [G]sea
[A]Louisiana had a book of matches
and a [G]can of gasoline
[D]

[Verse 4]
She take the flowers, she puts a man [G]to sin
She stares out the [D]window,
says she can't see [G]me
She hits the [A]high road,
your bed of fluff through [G]the door
She take the bedroom and she give

[Interlude 1]
you the floor
[D][G][D]
[G][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Two years later I got a call,
she served her [G]time and now was free
[D]She was ramblin' 'bout the sweetwater
blues but had a [A]bone to pick with me
[G]I said I'm sorry my love,
now tell me, [D]what [A]will it [G]take
[A]So I met Louisiana at
[G]Louisiana State
[D]

[Verse 6]
She take the flowers, she put a man [G]to sin
She stares out the [D]window,
says she can't see [G]me
She hits the [A]high road,
your bed of fluff through [G]the door
She take the bedroom and she
give you [D]the floor

[Verse 7]
Oh, my sweet Louisina [Em]Louisi
ana [D]I w[G]ill come[D]
Oh, I'll free Louisi[Em]ana[D][G]

[Outro 1]
Louisiana I will run
[D][Em][D][G]
[D][Em][D][G][D]
