Your Lakers Back In Town

C                Dm
I see it in your eyes
                      G
Searching through the harbour
         C              F C
And out across the bay
                    Dm
His ring is on your hand;
                      G        
He called you up from Cleveland 
       C    F C
yesterday
             F
Now who’s he left behind?
    G                     Am      
The weather’s fine, he’ll soon be 
        Dm
coming ’round
                  G
I try to hold you closer
                         C     F C
But your laker’s back in town


[Verse 2]

C           Dm
Every forty days
                    G
He leaves you lying sleeping
               C            F C
And clears for Thunder Bay
                   Dm
You call me on the job
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
                  G              C
And cry about how long he’ll be 
    F C
away
           F
You need a country band
  G               Am         Dm
A cheap hotel and me to run around
                 G
But for now it’s over
                     C     F C
Your laker’s back in town


[Bridge]

G
A distant whistle moans across the 
bay
      C
Pulls us apart
G
The singer says, “We’re gonna slow 
things down.”
     Am                    Dm     
Your cheating heart sounds like a 
          G
clock run down
                     C     F C
Your laker’s back in town
G
He comes in looking like he owns the
 place
       C
And he knows you’re here
G
The singer hollers, “It’s the final 
round.”
    Am               Dm        
The final beer feels like a rock 
        G
going down
                     C     F C
Your laker’s back in town


[Verse 3]

C                 Dm
The band has gone away
                         G
They’re clearing off the tables
           C           F C
And giving me the eye
                     Dm
You took him out the door
                     G          
And never thought to turn to say 
     C    F C
goodbye
            F
And I’m the crying fool
  G                  Am           
I know that you will call and I’ll
     Dm
 be ’round
                   G
To try to hold you closer
                          C     F C
‘Til your laker’s back in town
                    G
And try to hold you closer
                          C     F C
‘Til your laker’s back in town
