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]
They’ll [Em]judge you by your [D]compa[G]ny
They cannot see be[D]yond
Be [Em]careful who you [D]choose in [G]life
And stay where you be[D]long

[CHORUS]
[G]Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends
Don’t [C]tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate
I will [D]find out on my own
Don’t make the way too narrow and [G]straight [C] [A]

[VERSE 3]
He was [D]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]
His [Em]eyes were shining [D/F#]like the [G]sea
His hair was like [D]black gold
She [Em]knew her daddy’d [D/F#]disap[G]prove
Because he was [D]so bold

[CHORUS]
[G]Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends
Don’t [C]tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate
I will [D]find out on my own
Don’t make the way too narrow and [G]straight [C]
I will [D]find out on my own
Don’t make the way too narrow and [G]straight [C] [A] [D]

[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]
He [Em]jumped into his [D]car and [G]drove
To the Gulf of Mexi[D]co
And [Em]found her face down [D]in the [G]sand
Like poor Pinoc[D]chio

[VERSE 7]
And [Em]he remembered [D]how she’d [G]cried
When the movie played in [D]town
But [Em]where was the good [D/F#]fairy [G]now
To turn all this a[B]round
Don’t [C]tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate
I will [D]find out on my own

[CHORUS]
[G]Leave me be, I’ll make my own friends
Don’t [C]tell me who to love, don’t tell me who to hate
I will [D]find out on my own
Don’t make the way too narrow and [G]straight - too [C]late
I will [D]find out on my own
Don’t make the way too narrow and [G]straight

[Outro] (repeat and fade to end)
[D] [G] [D]
