This is called Lake Charles.
[A]
He had a reason to [E] get back to [A] Lake Charles.
He [D] used to talk about it.
He'd [A] just go on and on.

He was born [E] in Nevada.
[A]
That's [D] in East Texas.
Not on [A] the border.
But he [E] liked to tell everybody he [A] was from Lake Charles.
Did [D] an angel whisper [A] in your ear
and [D] hold you close and [F#m] take away [A] your fear?
In [E] those long [A] last mornings
We used to drive through [E] Lafayette and [A] Baton Rouge
In [D] a yellow Camino
Listening [A] to how he [E] liked 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?
Down [D] Louisiana Highway
[A] Across Lake Pontchartrain

No [A] matter what they say
Did [D] an angel whisper [A] in your ear
and [D] hold you close and take away [A] your fear?
