Leave Me Be by Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Leave Me Be
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro] (repeat and fade to end)
