Steve Earle - This city

^DThis 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

^GDoesn't matter let come what may ^EmI ain't ever gonna leave this town ^DThis city won't wash away This city won't ever drown

^DAin'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

^GThis town's digging our graves ^EmIn solid marble above the ground ^DMaybe our bones will wash away But this city won't ever drown

^DThis 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

^GGentille to Vieux Carre ^EmLower 9, Central City, Uptown ^DSinging jockamo fee nané This city won't ever drown

^GDoesn't matter 'cause there ain't no way ^EmI'm ever gonna leave this town ^DThis city won't wash away This city won't ever drown.
