Lake Charles Chords & Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

[A]He had a reason to get [E]back to Lake [A]Charles
He used to [D]talk about it
He'd just go [A]on and on
He always [E]said Louisana
Was where he [A]felt at home
[A]He was born in [E]Nacogdoch[A]es
That's in [D]East Texas
Not far from the [A]border
But he liked to [E]tell everybody
He was from Lake [A]Charles
Did an [D]angel whisper in your [A]ear
And [D]hold you close and take away your [A]fear
In those [E]long last mome[A]nts
[A]We used to drive
Thru [E]Lafayette and Baton [A]Rouge
In a [D]yellow Camino
Listening to [A]Howling Wolf
He liked to [E]stop in Lake Charles
Cause that's the [A]place that he loved
[A]Did you run about as [E]far as you could[A] go
Down the [D]Lousiana highway
Across Lake Poncha[A]train
Now your soul is in [E]Lake Charles
No matter [A]what they say
Did an [D]angel whisper in your [A]ear
And [D]hold you close and take away your [A]fear
In those [E]long last mome[A]nts

[SOLO]

[A]He had a reason to get [E]back to Lake [A]Charles
He used to [D]talk about it
He'd just go [A]on and on
He always [E]said Louisana
Was where he [A]felt at home
Did an [D]angel whisper in your [A]ear
And [D]hold you close and take away your [A]fear
In those [E]long last mome[A]nts
Did an [D]angel whisper in your [A]ear
And [D]hold you close and take away your [A]fear
In those [E]long last mome[A]nts
