A Em If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break; A Em If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break. A Em When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay. A Em A Em A Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan; Em A Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan. Em It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home. A Ah, well, oh well, oh well.

E B Don't it make you feel bad when you're tryin' to find your way home, A B D E You don't know which way to go. B If you're goin' down South, they got no work to do, A B D E If you don't know about Chicago. A Em Goin', goin' to Chicago, A Em goin' to Chicago, sorry but I can't take you. A Em Going down, going down now, A goining down, going down now, going down. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good; cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good. When the Levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night, sat on the levee and moaned; all last night, sat on the levee and moaned. Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home.

Written by John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Robert Anthony Plant, James Patrick Page
