San Antone Alone

[Verse]
                       A
I knew her daddy was a preacher man
                         E
When I asked him for his daughter's 
hand
                            F#m7
Said fire and brimstone was made for
 me
                        B7
The answer's no and now you can 
leave

[Chorus]
                    E       A
But I ain't leaving San An- tone 
alone
You can pray and pray but you won't 
E
pray me gone
                             A
Lord's done told me son just hold 
your own
B7                      A       E
I ain't leaving San An- tone a- lone

I went and told her what her daddy 
said
                            E
She started crying cause it hurt her
 bad.
                              F#m7
Girl dry those eyes show some faith 
in me

Well what I forgot to say, when I 
left your daddy's place
     A                     E
Your mama followed me out- side

She said don't pay him no mind, just
 give me tonight me
        A                       B7
And the Lord's gonna show him a
