HURRICANE
As recorded by Austin Williams

(2024 release)

[Intro]

Am C D Am E Am N.C.

Am

[Verse 1]

Am C
Thirty miles on the Gulf Stream

Dm Am
I hear the south wind moan

C
The bridges getting lower

Dm Am
The shrimp boats coming home

C
The old man down in the Quarter

D Am
Slowly turns his head

C
Takes a sip from his whiskey bottle

Dm Am
And this is what he said

[Chorus]

Am C
I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain

Dm Am
Underneath the Louisiana moon

C
I don't mind the strain of a hurricane

D E
They come around every June

Am C
The high black water, a devil's daughter

D Am
She's hard, she's cold and she's mean

C
But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water

D Am C D Am E Am
To wash away New Orleans

[Verse 2]

Am C
Man came down from Chicago

Dm Am
He's gonna set that levee right

C
He says, "it needs to be at least three feet higher

Dm Am
It won't make it through the night"

C
But the old man down in the Quarter

Dm Am
He said "don't you listen to that boy

C
The water be down by the morning
