Ellis Paul - Hurricane angel

^COn the day the ^Amlevee broke The ^Fwater did rise, The ^Cflowers did choke I ^Csat in my living room, ^Amtook one last toke Then I ^Fwatched it all drift ^Gaway

Now my ^Amcredit card's ^Cringing up at ^Fthirty percent There's a ^Amman in ^CIndia ^Fwondering where the money went But ^CI ^Gcan't ^Fpay

So I ^Csat on my roof In ^AmLake Pontchartrain Singing ^Fwoe to my chimney Singing ^Cwoe to the rain A ^Cstranger came by I ^Amnever caught his name He ^Fsaid he's rowing to the Rio ^GGrande

^AmAir Force ^COne a blue ^Fstreak in the sky Mr. ^AmPresident, ^CYou can't ^Fafford to lie Cause ^CI can't ^Gafford to ^Fpay

Hurricane ^CAng^Amel I'm lifting my ^Feyes over Baton ^CRouge ^CLift up your wings let me ^Amhear your voice singing Can you ^Fturn these black skies to ^Gblue again?

I'm ^Amlaying on the ^Cfloor of a ^Ftrailer at night with ^Amsixteen ^Crefugees ^Fwaiting on daylight ^CI ^Gcan't ^Fpay

I caught a ^Cflatbed ford up to ^AmBaton Rouge with four ^Fworn out souls and one c^Corkscrew You can ^Cdrown New Orleans but you ^Amcan't drown the blues so ^Fbartender pour ^Gaway

^AmExxon's ^Chaving one ^Fhell of a year ^Amthree bucks a ^Cgallon man they're ^Fmaking it clear that ^CI ^Gcan't ^Fpay.

^CLord, ^FLord, ^AmLord We haven't ^Fspoken in many a ^Cday I ^Cgot myself in trouble ^Amdown in the Ninth Ward thought ^FI'd send a prayer your ^Gway

^AmOn my ^Cwindowsill's ^FA stack of insurance bills ^AmA man in ^CDelaware ^Fsays I can't have the pills ^Cuntil ^GI can ^Fpay

Hurricane ^CAng^Amel I'm lifting my ^Feyes over Baton ^CRouge ^CLift up your wings let me ^Amhear your voice singing Can you ^Fturn these black skies to ^Gblue again?

I'm ^Amlaying on the ^Cfloor of a ^Ftrailer at night with ^Amsixteen ^Crefugees ^Fwaiting on daylight ^CI ^Gcan't ^Fpay

^CSomebody ^Gshould ^Fpay ^COn the day the ^Amlevee broke The ^Fwater did rise and the ^Cflowers did choke I ^Csat in my living room, ^Amtook one last toke and I ^Fwatched it all drift ^Caway
