St. Gabriel Chords by Janiva Magness

[Bbm] Oh, I love _ _ _ [F] you, I love you, I love you _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [F] All _ [Bbm] _
_ _ the sad songs about leaving
[F] _ _ _ None about coming home
[Ebm]
I've been down, I've been down in St.
Gabriel
[F]
With _ _ nowhere to _ [Bbm] go
The sun sets in St.
Gabriel
[F]
A _ _ fiery red [Ebm] in _ _ the field all around
_ [F] _
_ _ They're brown and dead [Bbm]
in St.
Gabriel
_ [Ebm] _ St.
_ [Bbm] _ _ Gabriel
[Fm] _ _ [F] _ [Bbm] They _ _ say I killed a man
_ [F] _
_ _ That threatened my life
_ [Ebm] _
_ _ But I went to prison
[F] Because _ _ I was his wife
[Bbm] _
Now I had stood it _ [F] _
_ as long as I could
[Ebm] So I went down, I went down to St.
Gabriel
[F] _
_ For what I had to do
[Bbm] St. Gabriel
_ [Ab] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm]

_ [Fm] It's _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ a hopeless life
_ [F] _
_ And it's a crying shame
_ [Gb] _
_ [Ebm] It was me or him
_ [F] _
_ And I took the blame
[Bbm] _
You _ can feel the river
[F] Through _ _ the walls
_ [Ebm] _
_ _ It shakes the levee
_ [F]
It _ _ shakes us all
[Bbm]
St. Gabriel
_ [Ebm] St.
_ _ [Bbm] _ Gabriel
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ Now they say I was right
_ [F] _
_ _ And I'm free to go
[Ebm] _
So I'm standing out here
[F] By _ _ [Fm] the side of the [Bbm] road
_ All the sad songs about leaving
[F] There's _ none about coming home
[Ebm] Oh I've been down
_ I've been down in St.
Gabriel
[F] Let _ _ _ it go
[Bbm]
