"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
