Intro:
G D Am C
G
Lejos and Mary lay dazed in Liula
C
Dreaming of tropical signs
D
As Lejos lay sleeping
She knelt over him weeping
C G
Feeling the weight of his crimes
C G G7
It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town
C
And he's just licking his wounds for a spell
D
But it won't take long for the boys to catch on
D7
And soon he'll be running like hell
C G
Run Lejos run
C F C G D
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
C D Em
Run Lejos run
D C
Climb on that pony and ride like you ain't never done
G
Well their love it was long
C
It was gentle and strong, and for a while she forgot his sins
D
And she kissed him for love
She kissed him for luck
C G
She kissed him one time for the kid
G
Well they came in without warning, in the hours before morning
G7 C
They come—a blasting through the windows and walls
D
And when the smoke it did clear
Somebody cried out he ain't here
D7
Killed ourselves a woman that's all
C G
Run Lejos run
C F C G D
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
C D Em
Run Lejos run
D C
Climb on that pony and ride like you ain't never done
Ride like you ain't never done
