INTRO DO FA SOL (4x)
DO
Alligators snap at your ankles
FA SOL
And branches snap at your brain
DO
If I ever get through this swamp alive
FA SOL
I'll nevermore pray for rain
DO
This must be the place, and still
FA SOL
Somehow it don't seem right
DO
That something in the moon
FA
Could change these endless days
SOL
To lonely nights
I take a stroll down by the sea
And walk along the pier
Then I slip and hit my head
Now's the time to fear
See the surface, see the rocks
See my past fly swiftly by
I feel the water in my lungs
And wake up screaming for my life
DO
In my blue heaven
FA SOL
There's a bottle of Pontchetrain
DO
Chalmette by moonlight
FA SOL
To take away the pain
DO SOL
Card sharks and blue harps
FA SOL
And dolphins who can leap
DO
In my Blue Heaven
FA
Where I can laugh
SOL
And I can weep
Black shapes zip into corners
The big lads start to crawl
To holes of their own making
In the cracks within the wall
Snakes and rats and spiders
I know that they're still there
I pray to God that I may sleep
Without a hope, without a care
In my blue heaven
There's a bottle of Pontchetrain
Chalmette by moonlight
To take away the pain
Felines and sea lions
And rain on the beach
In my Blue Heaven
With angels who are out of reach
In my blue heaven
There's a bottle of Pontchetrain
Chalmette by moonlight
To take away the pain
Nightingales sing
And the bells they will ring
In my Blue Heaven
The Bells of Hell
Go ding-a-ling-a-ling
