Lyrics
Cm///
Who made you mad Katrina
Gm///
Baby, how?d you get so mean,
Fm///
The way you beat up old Biloxi
Cm///
And you?re drowning New Orleans
Gm///
You the roughest woman
Fm///
That this place ever seen
Cm/ Fm/
So tell me Miss Katrina
Cm/ Gaug7/
How?d you get so mean
Cm///
With gustin? winds of fury,
Gm///
As the hateful waves just pound,
Fm///
The water keeps arising
Cm///
And the levy?s crumbling down
Gm///
You took away my house
Fm///
And you?re trying to take this town
Cm/ Fm/
And the water keeps arising
Cm/ Gaug7/
And the levy?s crumbling down
Cm///
Never underestimate
Gm///
a woman who?s been scorn
Fm///
Don?t let her wrath come cross your path
Cm///
Make you sorry you was born
Gm///
I can?t find my family
Fm///
And she?s trying to take this town
Cm/ Fm/
And the water keep arising
Cm/ Gaug7/
And the levy?s crumbling down Cm// Fm//// Cm//
