Ray LaMontagne – Narrow Escape (Ukulele)

G
Lejos and Mary lay dazed in Liula

                     C
Dreaming of tropical signs

   D
As Lejos lay sleeping

            C             G
Feeling the weight of his crimes

C           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         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
She kissed him one time for the kid

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

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

             D
And when the smoke it did clear

                                D7
Killed ourselves a woman that's all

C         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
