Leave Me Be

Em D Em D Her dress it was of snowy white D A rose tied to her wrist The words her daddy preached to her D Were softened with a kiss Em D G They’ll judge you by your company D They cannot see beyond Em D G Be careful who you choose in life D And stay where you belong G Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends C Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate D I will find out on my own G C A Don’t make the way too narrow and straight D He was on the road to Galveston By way of Woodsboro D After four long weeks out on a rig In the Gulf of Mexico Em D/F# G His eyes were shining like the sea D His hair was like black gold Em D/F# G She knew her daddy’d disapprove D Because he was so bold G Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends C Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate D I will find out on my own G C Don’t make the way too narrow and straight D I will find out on my own G C A D Don’t make the way too narrow and straight He was sleeping in his easy chair D When a call came in the night The trooper said they’d found his girl D His little girl dressed in white Em D G He jumped into his car and drove D To the Gulf of Mexico Em D G And found her face down in the sand D Like poor Pinocchio Em D G And he remembered how she’d cried D When the movie played in town Em D/F# G But where was the good fairy now B To turn all this around C Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate D I will find out on my own G Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends C Don’t tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate D I will find out on my own G C Don’t make the way too narrow and straight - too late D I will find out on my own G Don’t make the way too narrow and straight (repeat and fade to end) D G D
