Ray LaMontagne – Narrow Escape (Guitar)

G
Lejos and Mary lay dazed in Liula

                          C
Dreaming of tropical signs

   D
As Lejos lay sleeping

            C             G      C  G  C
Feeling the weight of his crimes

            G                             G7
It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town

                                       C
And he's just licking his wounds for a spell

       D
But it won't take long for the boys to catch on

                               D7
And soon he'll be running like hell

C   D     G
Run Lejos run

C          F  C             G           D
This ain't no time for that ball and chain

C   D     Em
Run Lejos run

D                      C
Climb on that pony and ride like you ain't never done

            G
Well, their love it was long

                                                           C
It was gentle and strong, and for a while she forgot his sins

        D
And she kissed him for love

                   C            G   C  G  C
She kissed him one time for the kid

           G
Well, they came in without a warning, in the hours before morning

G7                                                C
 They come a-blasting through the windows and the walls

             D
And when the smoke it did clear

                                 D7
Killed ourselves a woman, that's all

C   D     G
Run Lejos run

C          F  C             G           D
This ain't no time for that ball and chain

C   D     Em
Run Lejos run

D                      C
Climb on that pony and ride like you ain't never done

C
Ride like you ain't never done
