Chords for Katy Moffatt and Andrew Hardin "Lefty's Last Ride" Live at KDHX 09/11/10

_ With the radio on I was traveling along
[F#] Just wondering if the road [C#] was clear
_ when I heard them say
He passed away.
[F#] I
Couldn't hold back [G#] my tears
He [C#] was my first real hero back when I was young
Me and [F#] my brother liked the way [Gm] [G] his guitar hum
[C#] Now he's laid out
Stiffer [G#] than a two-by-four
_ [F#] He'll never go stepping [C#] no more
_ _ _ _ _ All his kinfolk warned him he's garden disaster [F#] when he took that
[C#] society bride
He said his good luck maiden and it never betrayed him [F#] up until that [D#m] faithful [G#] ride
The [C#] road was littered with wreckage and shattered
Glass [F#] Lord the police said he [Gm] gave it too [D#] much gas
[C#] His sister fainted [G#] and his daddy swore
[F#] And his widow is walking the [C#] floor _ _ _ _ _
_ Lord he died on a highway
[F#] Away _ [C#] with a woman who remains [G#] unnamed _
They [C#] scared it
95 yards [F#] till they hit something hard [C#] and burst into [G#] a ball [C#] of flame
_ _ _ _ _ With the song in his head and a gun by his bed
[F#] Lord he traveled from town
[C#] to town
Was just him and the boys and a whole lot of noise that [F#] they called the rebel [G#] sound
Yeah, [C#] there was rumors of scandal
Paola and pills
[F#] There's people who said he [D#] was over the hill.
Hey, [C#] but they're selling his records
_ [G#] Inconvenience stores, [F#] they don't make him like lefty [C#] no more _ _ _ _ _
_ He went flying through the [F#] past in the middle of the night
[C#] Feeling worn out flickered [G#] and low
_ [C#] There was no one around [F#] just the rain pouring down [C#] on that little [G#] stretch of lonesome [C#] road
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ It's kind of spooky somehow
But it's all over now.
They're [F#] gonna put him in the Hall [C#] of Fame and
the papers still quote
From songs that he wrote, [F#] but I still think it's such a shame
[G#] _ Hey, [C#] he was big.
He was bad.
He was one of a kind
I [F#] know I'll always remember that
[D#] Strung out one
[C#] He grew up.
Why?
[G#] He grew up.
Oh [F#] now he'll never work, Texas [C#] no more _ _ _ _
_ Yes, he died
_ _ [F#] Olivia way [C#] with a woman who was not [G#] his wife
They [C#] say the Lord took his soul
[F#] While the highway patrol [C#] swept up the pieces [G#] of his rock [C#] and my
He went flying through the past
[F#] In the middle of the night
[C#] feeling worn out
Lickered and [G#] low
_ [C#] There was no one around
[F#] Just the rain pouring down [C#] on that little [G#] stretch of [C#] lonesome
There was no one around [F#] just the rain pouring down on that
[C#] little [G#] stretch of _ lonesome _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ [N] _
