Louisiana Rain

A C#m D E A

[Verse]
        D            Dm        E        A
I see a barefoot boy   down an old dirt road
              C#m       D          E            A
A little ole' shotgun house with a wood burning stove
         D               Dm       E             A
It had a rusted tin roof      and broken window panes
          C#m       D  Dm       E         A
I used to fall asleep    to the Louisiana rain

         D            Dm        E        A
We would go to church    people came from miles around
             C#m         D      E             A
To sing those gospel songs have dinner on the ground
               D          Dm      E        A
The years they come and go    but memories remain
           C#m      D     Dm        E         A
And lately I've had dreams   of the Louisiana rain

        D                   E  E7               F#m
And the freight train blows    somewhere in the night
           D                     C#m                  D            E
And it's a lonesome thing to know    I've left it all so far behind
            D          Dm      E          A
I've got to get my life   back simple and plain
              C#m      D     Dm         E             A
'Cause lately I've had dreams    of the Louisiana rain

            D         Dm      E          A
I've got to get myself   back simple and plain
              C#m      D     Dm         E         A
'Cause lately I've had dreams    of the Louisiana rain
