LEAVING LOUISIANA IN THE BROAD DAYLIGHT CHORDS

[Start]

[Verse]
B                                              
 Oh Mary took to running with a travelling man
         B                                      
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
E                  B             
Such a sad case so broken hearted
    B                                      
She say Momma gotta go gotta get outta here
B                                           
Gotta get outta town tired of hanging around
  E             B                  
I gotta roll on between the ditches
                                            B 
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
                         B    
'round and around nobody knows
E                    B         
But the highway goes on forever
   E                     B         
Oh that all highway goes on forever
                        B                              
Lord she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
       B                                    
Hadn't started running with a travelling man
              E                          B      
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
                         B                                  
She said Daughter let me tell you 'bout the travelling' kind
                B7        B              
Everywhere they go such a very short time
              E                    B   
He'll be long gone before you know  it
            E                         B 
Oh he'll be long gone before you know it


[Chorus]
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                                    
Well this is down in the swamp where anything goes


[Verse]
B                                           
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
         E                  B          
It's the real thing down in  Louisiana
B                                              
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad
B                                           
Really got trouble like a daughter goin' bad
             E           B        
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
       B                                               
Oh the stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
B                                     
Gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
         E                   B       
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
                 E                   B       
Lord there ain't no time for lengthy speeches


[Chorus]
        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            G#m                        
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
                                       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
