Topic: Leave This Town
Leave This TownMusic and Lyrics by Dan Bernhardt
Roots Rock in 4/4, plenty of open room for solos and jamming
Intro (x2)
[D] [A] [G] [D]
I[D] wanna leave this town tonight
With[A]all my may and all my might
To [G]travel far and travel light
I [D]wanna leave this town tonight
I [D]wanna go to Ireland
Her [A]emeralds shores and kind women
And [G]friendship rare as Everest Air
In [D] Ireland, I’m almost there!
I’ll [Am]go to Cork and see a friend
[C]we’d drink some beers and smoke some ganj
and [G]write the wrongs we plan to right
[D]and sing until the morning light
We’d [Am]be as happy as can be
[C]and travel every worldly corner
[G]the Good Lord knows he’ll keep us safe
Just [D]like He did when we were younger
I[D] wanna leave this town tonight
With[A]all my may and all my might
To [G]travel far and travel light
I [D]wanna leave this town tonight
I [D]wanna go to New Orleans
[A] and drink some gin on Bourbon Street…
[G]
[D]
So, I'm working on the rest of the song, and I'm kind of blanking on lyrics that are true to NOLA, but not too cliche. Open to any suggestions. I'll have a rough demo up on soundclick soon.

Music is my savior/I was maimed by Rock and Roll/I was tamed by Rock and Roll/I got my name/From Rock and Roll
