Leaving La In Daylight chords by Emmylou Harris

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

BB
Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man

Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
    E MajorE         BB
Such a sad case so broken hearted
BB
She say momma I got to go I gotta get out of here

I gotta get out of town

I'm tired of hanging around
    E MajorE          BB
I gotta roll on between the ditches
BB
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

Round and round nobody knows
    E MajorE         BB
But the highway goes on forever
     E MajorE         BB
That old highway rolls on forever
BB
Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk

If she hadn't started running with a traveling man
    E MajorE                 BB
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
BB
She say daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind

Eveywhere he's going such a very short time
     E MajorE          BB
He'll be long gone before you know it
     E MajorE          BB
He'll be long gone before you know it
    G# minorG#m              F#F#
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
E MajorE              BB
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
G# minorG#m             F#F#
Never have I done it when it looked so right
E MajorE
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

BB
This is down in the swampland anything goes

It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
     E MajorE           BB
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
BB
Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad

Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
    E MajorE           BB
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
BB
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed

He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
     E MajorE          BB
It ain't no time for lengthy speaches
      E MajorE          BB
There ain't no time for lengthy speaches
    G# minorG#m              F#F#
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
E MajorE                  BB
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
G# minorG#m             F#F#
Never have I done it when it looked so right
E MajorE
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
    G# minorG#m              F#F#
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
E MajorE                  BB
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
G# minorG#m             f#
Never have I done it when it looked so right
E MajorE
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
E MajorE
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
BB
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

Round and round nobody knows
    E MajorE         BB
But the highway goes on forever
      E MajorE         BB
That ain't no way to stop the water
