Leaving La In Daylight chords by Emmylou Harris

Tuning: EADGBE

B
Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man

Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
    E         B
Such a sad case so broken hearted
B
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          B
I gotta roll on between the ditches
B

It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

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

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

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

B
This is down in the swampland anything goes

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

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

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

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