I Wanna Die

A
I wanna die
D          A
I wanna die
E
Down south Louisiana
          D           A
And the gray evening sky

A
I wanna die
D             A
I don't care how
I'm getting out
E
Down south Louisiana
           D               A
And the lonesome highway sound

       A
Well there's a cajun lady
D
Down in New Orleans
E
There's a cajun lady
       D              A
And I saw her in my dream

          A
Well if I'd held her in my arms, girls
            D                  A
Oh and if I'd held her in my arms
 E
Our friendly love
             D                  A
Might have kept my heart from harm
         A
But I'm out here on this road, girls
        D                 A
And I'm out here on the road
     E
And I'm just a poor girl
        D           A
And I ain't got a home

    A
And I wanna die
D             A
I don't care how

I'm getting out
E
Down south Louisiana
           D                A
And the lonesome highway sound

   A
Oh I ain't got a home, girls
    D              A
And I ain't got a home
           A
And it's through this world I ramble
            D                   A
And it's through this world I roam

             A
Well, it's through this world I ramble
          D                   A
And as through this world I roam
E
I'm just a poor girl
        D           A
And I ain't got a home

    A
And I wanna die
D        A
I wanna die
E
Down south Louisiana
          D          A
And the gray evening sky

     A
Well I wanna die
D
I don't care how

I'm getting out
E
Down south Louisiana
           D              A
And the lonesome highway sound
