G A D A

Miss Antoinette she went out with a song

Selling booze and silver shoes and singing right along.

G A D A

Shotgun and a limousine while the baby dolls march on

G A D A

Miss Antoinette she went out with a song.

G A D A

And it's a long way down

G A D A

Yeah it's a long way down.

G A D A

Down at the Maple Leaf they pack 'em in

G A D A

We all get sauced, turn down the house, so we start all over again.

G A D A

And tonight we'll all get reborn to a couple fifths of gin.

(here we go)

G A D A

The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up

But if you're downtown when the levees break well you're shit out of luck.

(shit out of luck)

G A D A

G A D B

G A D A

And over at the place they train the guards

And sometimes all it takes is going way too far

G A D A

And it's the long way down

E F# B A

Yeah it's the long way down

G A D D

Aw it's the long way down

A long way down

G A D A

And all the rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up

G A D A

But if you're downtown when the levees break well you're shit out of luck.

G A D A

The penthouse paupers need your help so everybody lend a hand

G A D A

And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price on Louisiana land

G A D A

G A D D

A A

G A D A

Now Christ down on the street with his trombone

G A D A

And even though the 12-year olds have got in their bones

G A D A

Above these 20 blocks no one's alone

G A D A

The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up

G A D A

But if you're downtown when the levees break then you're shit out of luck.

G A D A

The penthouse paupers need your help so everybody lend a hand

G A D A

And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price on Louisiana land
