Intro - x - Am E C G

Am Dm
I'll tell it like it happened it was Darius and Noland and me
E Am
Just a few po' boys trying to get up out of Missouri
Am Dm
Took to Louisiana stopped down by the highway to eat
E Am
They both had crawfish Strictly chicken for me

Am Dm
Back out under thunderheads the radio was Southern soul
Am C
They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show
E
They were sayin'

Am E
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
C G
Rest your soul and feed your brain
Am E
That's where you will get to see
C G Am
Everything the water can be

Am Dm
The rain was comin' down the wind was howlin' outside of Slidell
E Am
It was the kind of night that makes you think the whole world's goin'
to hell
Am Dm
We got off on an exit 'cause we couldn't read the map so great
E Am
Near the Choctaw Motel we parked to deliberate
Am Dm
When out of the bayou came a man like the lake had a tongue
E Am
He was right up on the glass all yellow-eyed black teeth bangin'
on the windshield
E
Screamin' like a demon at the top of his lungs

Am E
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
C G
Rest your soul and feed your brain
Am E
Free for you and all your friends
C G
Crawfish 'til the bitter end
Am E
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
C G
Wade to where the shallows break
Am E
That's where you will get to see
C G Am
Everything the water can be

Dm
I was drivin' out of there as fast as a Camry could
E Am
But the interstate was flooded so I had to take the road through
the woods
Am Dm
Bad move in retrospect the road disappeared in the rain
E
And I stood on the brakes when I saw the sign
E
Lake Pontchartrain

Am
Darius was yelling that he saw somebody out in the swells
E
He jumped out runnin' and Noland was goin' as well
Am Dm
Come back Why the hell would they leave the car
E E
And that's when I heard it make no mistake
E E
The voices were calling them from under the lake

Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain

Am Dm
The crawfish were screaming the waves danced in time
E Am
My friends went in deeper the water it climbed
Am Dm
I watched in terror the lake opened wide
E Am
And horribly roaring it pulled them inside
Am Dm
That's how it happened Why would I lie
E Am
There were no bodies I've got none to hide
Dm Am
I'm just a poor boy lost his friends in the rain
E Am
Any more questions just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain
