[Verse 1]
C
Hurry over and cry, Lafayette
F G Am G
..I knew that I’d lose you the moment we met
C Am F G
But the bayou still sings every night in my head
C G C
Though I can’t understand what it wants
F G Am G
..I love when it rains but I hate getting wet
C G C
Never thought it’d be me that you’d haunt
[Verse 2]
C
Can’t remember your words, Lafayette
F G Am G
You said,..”Words didn’t matter, it’s what’s in your head”
C Am F G
But if you don’t ask then you’re bound not to get
C G C
Still know what you said wasn’t wrong
F G Am G
..I can’t turn a corner or walk down the street
C G C
Without seeing your face come along
[Chorus]
Am Em Am Em
Last born son,….yeah, loaded gun…
F G C Am F G F
..You know I recall somebody saying, “Ther? ain’t no cowboys left”
G C Am F G
But they ain’t met m? and they ain’t met you, Lafayette…………..
C Am F G
…They ain’t met me, Lafayette
C Am F G F G
Ooh………………..
C
They ain’t met you, Lafayette
[Verse 3]
C
The months march away, Lafayette
F G Am G
..I hear it takes years for the heart to reset
C Am F G
Yeah, but one of these days, I’ll be done with regret
C G C
Didn’t think it would take me this long
F G Am G
..Still sing Delta Dawn when I catch a sunset
C G C
I remember how you loved that song
[Chorus]
Am Em Am Em
Last born son,….yeah, loaded gun…
F G C Am F G F
..You know I recall somebody saying, “Ther? ain’t no cowboys left”
G C
But they ain’t met m? and they ain’t met you, Lafayette
