Chords

[Intro] A [Verse 1]
         A             E            A
He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles

           D                           A
He used to talk about it, he'd just go on and on

          E                           A
He always said Louisiana was where he felt at home
[Verse 2]
       A       E    A
He was born in Nacogdoches

            D                          A
That's in East Texas, not far from the border

                E                           A
But he liked to tell everybody he was from Lake Charles
[Chorus]
       D                     A
Did an angel whisper in your ear

    D                                 A
And hold you close and take away your fear

         E         A
In those long last moments
[Verse 3]
           A                E                A
We used to drive through Lafayette and Baton Rouge

      D                             A
In a yellow El Camino, listening to Howlin' Wolf

            E                                      A
He liked to stop in Lake Charles 'cause that's the place he loved
[Verse 4]
         A           E                A
Did you run about as far as you could go

          D                             A
Down the Louisiana highway, across Lake Pontchartrain

                 E                          A
Now your soul is in Lake Charles, no matter what they say
[Chorus]
       D                     A
Did an angel whisper in your ear

    D                                 A
And hold you close and take away your fear

         E         A
In those long last moments

And hold you close and take away your fear

In those long last moments

And hold you close and take away your fear

         E         A
In those long last moments

         E         A        A
In those long last moments
