When You Leave That Way

Key: D

Introduction:

                     D  
  I remember waking in the morning
                                                                                                          A  
  To the sound of the rooster's crow
  Mamma cooking in the kitchen
                                                                                        D  
  Arthur Godfrey on the radio
                     D  
  Me and Dad were just like strangers
                                                                                     A  
  We never did see eye to eye
  Came to blows one Sunday morning
                                                                                                                     D    F    C/G    D  
  So i packed my bags and i said goodbye
                        /                                                                                                         Em
                A                                                                                         D  
  A train won't run on a torn up track
                                                                                                  G    D            Em  
  Sometimes i wish i'd never roamed,oh no
                A                                                                                                                                    D  
  'cause when you leave that way you can never go home
                        D  
  Then i met a girl in Knoxville
                                                                                  A  
  Oh,we set our wedding day
  I left her standing at the alter
                                                                          D  
  With a baby on the way
Chorus.
                        G                                         A                                    D  
  Lord i'd love to see my mom and daddy
                                     G                                      A                                         Bm  
  And what i'd give to hold that boy of mine
                                  G                                      A                                              D  
  I'd get down on my knees and i say i'm sorry
                          E                                                                                 A  
  If i could only go back one more time
                        D  
  But i killed a man in Houston
                                                                                                A  
  When he caught me with his wife
  And i told the preacher man to leave me alone
                                                                                        D  
  When he came to read my rights
                        /                                                                                                                                              Em
                A                                                                                         D  
  A soul won't roll on a torn up track
                                                                                                  G      DEm  
  All through eternity you'll roam alone
                A                                                                                                                                         D  
  'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
                                                                                                  G      DEm  
  All through eternity you'll roam alone
                A                                                                                                                                         Bm  
  'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
