^FSo let the rain sting my ne^Cck ^FLet the mighty Mississippi take this G^Amod-forsaken to^Gwn Let the ^Fstorm and all the fury come and ca^Crry me away Take m^Ame to that place somew^Ghere on higher ground ^C

^CThe voices on the radio were ^Fcracking off and on ^CThe court is underwater and the ^Glevees all but gone ^CThere’s children in the treetops an^Fd soldiers in the sky It’s too lat^Ame now to run I’d ne^Gver make it out alive

^FSo let the rain sting my ne^Cck ^FLet the mighty Mississippi take this G^Amod-forsaken to^Gwn Let the ^Fstorm and all the fury come and ca^Crry me away Take m^Ame to that place somew^Ghere on higher ground ^C
