He had a reason [E] to get back to [A] Lake Charles.
_ _ _ He [D] used to talk about it. _
[E] He'd just [A] go on and _ on.
He [E] always said Louisiana _ _ was [A] where he felt at [E] home.
[A] _ _
[E] He [A] was born [E] in _ _
_ [A] _ [B] [A] Nacogdoches. _ _ _
That's [D] in East Texas.
_ _ Not [A] far from the border.

Did [D] an angel _ _ _ whisper [A] in your [E] ear?
[F#m] _ [A] _ _ _
[D] And hold you close and take away [A] all [E] fear?
[F#m] _ [A] In _ [E] those _ [A] long [E] _ _ _
[A] last months
_ _ We used to drive through [E] _ Lafayette [A] and Platte-Thorne Roads
_ In [D] a yellow _ Camino _
Listening [A] to Howlin' Wolf
He [E] likes to stop in Lake Charles _
Cause [A] that's the place he loved
_ Did you run [E] about as _ far as [A] you could go? _ _ _ _
[D] Down the Louisiana _ Highway _
[A] Across Lake _ Pontchartrain
Now your [E] soul is in Lake [A] _ [E] Charles
No matter [A] what they say
[B] _ [Am] _
[Em] [D] Did an angel _ _ whisper [A] in your [F#m] ear?

[D] And hold you close and take [A] away all [F#m] fear?
