Em x 4 bars
[Verse]
Em
Goin against the grain, I'm walkin' all alone into a hurricane, only way to get home
Am Em Am B
No gettin' a- round it, I made up my mind, I'm movin' on faith, I'm travelin' blind
[Chorus]
Em
I'm walkin' to New Orleans, walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans, on judgement day
Em
Put my head down, plow into the wind, it's a whole lotta miles to the city of sin
Am Em Am B
I might not make it, I know that's true, but I don't know, nothin' else to do
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
Em x 4 bars
[Verse]
Em
Friends tried to tell me, that I was gonna die, cops tried to stop me, but I blew right on by
Am Em Am B
'Cuz the ones I love, are waitin' there for me and with- out them, what would my life be
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em
Am Am Em Em Am Am B B

Em
Now I can't think, I can only feel, time's stopped movin', this don't seem real
Am Em Am Em
If I don't get there, I'll die tryin' and I'll haunt this highway, til the end of time
[Chorus]
Em Em Em Em Em Em Em6
On judgement day, judgement day
