Sunset On Louisianne

Intro: G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 

G                                       Cadd9 
When I was young and full of dreams,   
G                               C 
My whole life in front of me.   
C                               G 
But things are not always the way they seem,   
G                               D 
Some dreams just don’t come true.    


G                                       Cadd9 
Futures so bright so everyone said 
G                               C 
Made more money than my poppa ever did 
C                       G 
He was the answer for which I’d prayed  
C       D      Cadd9 
When the industry comes to town.    


 G                                      Cadd9 
Married a girl from Poetry Bridge,   
G                       C 
Raised a family of Cajun kids,   
C                       G 
Nobody did no better than we did,   
G                       D 
But things can always change.    

G                                               Cadd9 
My pappa'd been a trapper living hand to mouth,   
G                                       C 
But when I made shop foreman, I had it all figured out,   
C                       G 
I thanked god each and everyday  
C       D      Cadd9 
When the industry came to town.  



Cadd9         G 
Sunset on Louisianne,   
C                               D               
The sun going down on the promised land,  
Cadd9                   G 
I’ve given you everything I can,   
C       D      Cadd9 
I’ve got nothing left to lose.    

G                                       Cadd9 
My sister lost her baby premature,   
G                                       C       
And my papa got the sickness that got no cure,   
C                       G       
What they told us about it at the plant,   
G                       D 
We could not be sure.    

G                                       Cadd9 
My boy went to College down in Baton Rouge 
G                                       C 
Came back talkin' bout the old Bayou 
C                       G 
Sure the fish don’t bite like they used to 
C       D      Cadd9 
Since the industry come to town 



Cadd9         G 
Sunset on Louisianne,   
C                               D               
The sun going down on the promised land,  
Cadd9                   G 
I’ve given you everything I can,   
C       D      Cadd9 
I’ve got nothing left to lose. 


Bridge:   
C                               G 
 Smokestacks burning on the river,   
Am                              D 
From New Orleans to Baton Rouge.   
C                       G 
How can I go on believing ? 
F                       D 
When they won’t tell me the truth.    

G                                       Cadd9 
I take my grand son fishing down at Campania Pass,   
G                               C 
I hope some of this beauty will last, 
C                       G 
But, lord, it’s changing so damn fast…  
G                       D 
Each and every day. 

G                                       Cadd9 
I love the river and I love the swamp,   
G                               C 
The snowy egret and the old bullfrog,   
C                       G 
But they’re harder to find one and all  
C       D      Cadd9 
Since the industry came to town. 



Cadd9         G 
Sunset on Louisianne,   
C                               D               
The sun going down on the promised land,  
Cadd9                   G 
I’ve given you everything I can,   
C       D      C 
Since the Industry come to town… 
C       D      C 
Since the Industry… Come…  To town
