INTRO [D,G,A7,D,G,A7,D]
Part A
[D] In Terrebonne [G] Louisi[D]ana
My [A7] family tree grew in that [D] soil
[D] Bayou Cane is [G] my nir[D]vana
But [A7] our roots they died in the [D] oil
Part B
[G] pass a good time we’d [D] say
[A7] before the crude reached the [D] bay
[G] For our Good Earth we [D] pray
[A7] Bayou can you forgive us [D] today
One Spring day the horizon sank
At the shore the water was still
Soon the slick was on the oyster bank
And then came the great fish kill
Part B
Oh Deepwater the booms deployed
Transoceanic wouldn’t hire my boat
The sandy beaches can’t be enjoyed
Cause the smell of death chokes your throat
Part B
Part C
[D] Oh Bayou [G] child
[A7] Oh my Bayou [D]child [D] Oh Bayou [G] child
You [A7] Lost your Cajun [D] style
You [G] moved away af[D]ter the dome
[A7] Bayou child you can’t come [D] home
[D] Oh Bayou [G] child
[A7] Oh my Bayou [D]child [D] Oh Bayou [G] child
Bayou [A7] child you can’t come [D] home
Wishing and shrimpin’ on my piroque
Sending my catch to Los Angeles
So my bayou child can come ßhome one day
But now our swamp is thick with grease
