          A               Esus4      A             Esus4
She had a look in her eye that could make you melt,

F#m                 Esus4       F#m   Esus4
Made me feel better than I ever felt.

    Bm              Esus4 Bm                Esus4
But bless her heart,      she couldn't stay,

  E                    D# E E
I begged her not to go away.
[Verse 2]
            A              Esus4  A             Esus4
She left my ex best friend out    in old Tucson,

F#m                    Esus4                   Esus4
Told me she was leavin' and would be rollin on.

Bm           Esus4 Bm              Esus4
Now the days       just pass on by,

       E                 D# E E
Losin' her is the reason why.
[Chorus]

Leila,          your mind           will be flying high

    E                  D# E E
And everything will be alright.

You know I love you girl more  than I can say,

  F#m                   Esus4    F#m       Esus4
I still think about you each and every day.

   Bm                 Esus4 Bm
My lonesome old heart still feels the same,

   E                     D# E E
So Leila won't you steal away.

And everything will be alright.
