"Louisiana Lowdown and Blue" by Paul Sanchez
from "Jet Black and Jealous"
RIFF (used throughout song): D# D# C# C# C# C# D# D# C# C# C# D#
The filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret.
VERSES:
D# FILL
My eyelids said four-thirty
D# FILL
and the radio clock said six
G# A# RIFF
and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
D# FILL
I might have slept through yesterday
D# FILL
but in the shape I'm in
G# A# RIFF
what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
CHORUS:
Gm Cm
I burned up letters and I burned up souvenirs
Gm Cm
Leaving no traces that I was ever here
D# G# A# RIFF
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
BRIDGE:
A# D#
I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
A# D#
And it scared me almost half to death
A# D#
I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from them
A# RIFF
Instead I closed my eyes and I wasn't there
