Narrow Escape

Intro:
G D Am C

G
Lejos and Mary lay dazed in Liula
                     C
Dreaming of tropical signs
   D
As Lejos lay sleeping

She knelt over him weeping
            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

She kissed him for luck
                   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

Somebody cried out he ain't here
                                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
