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.
