Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Leave Me Be [Intro] Em D Em D [Verse 1] Her dress it was of snowy white
D
A rose tied to her wrist
The words her daddy preached to her
D
Were softened with a kiss
[Verse 2]
        Em                D    G
They'll judge you by your company 

                  D
They cannot see beyond

   Em              D         G
Be careful who you choose in life

                     D 
And stay where you belong
[Chorus]
G
Leave me be, I'll make my own friends

      C
Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to hate

       D
I will find out on my own

                                  G         C  A
Don't make the way too narrow and straight
[Verse 3]
       D
He was on the road to Galveston
By way of Woodsboro
D
After four long weeks out on a rig
In the Gulf of Mexico [Verse 4]
    Em                D/F#     G
His eyes were shining like the sea

                  D
His hair was like black gold

    Em               D/F# G
She knew her daddy'd disapprove

               D
Because he was so bold
[Chorus]
G
Leave me be, I'll make my own friends

      C
Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to hate

       D
I will find out on my own

                                  G         C
Don't make the way too narrow and straight

       D
I will find out on my own

                                  G           C  A    D
Don't make the way too narrow and straight
[Verse 5] He was sleeping in his easy chair
D
When a call came in the night
The trooper said they'd found his girl
D
His little girl dressed in white
[Verse 6]
   Em              D       G
He jumped into his car and drove 

                   D
To the Gulf of Mexico

    Em                  D      G
And found her face down in the sand 

               D
Like poor Pinocchio
[Verse 7]
    Em            D         G
And he remembered how she'd cried 

                         D
When the movie played in town

    Em                 D/F#  G
But where was the good fairy now

                  B
To turn all this around

      C
Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to hate

       D
I will find out on my own
[Chorus]
G
Leave me be, I'll make my own friends

      C
Don't tell me who to love, don't tell me who to hate

       D
I will find out on my own

                                  G              C
Don't make the way too narrow and straight - too late

       D
I will find out on my own

                                  G
Don't make the way too narrow and straight
[Outro] (repeat and fade to end) D G D
