Lonnie & Josie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Me [F]and[C] Lonni[F]e
from down a [C]Ca [F]dillac
Outside the Laredo in the [C]heat
[F]of the sun[C][F]
The driver was [C]tanned and [E]he looked
like [Am]a sales[F]man
We were just children on [G]the run

[Verse 2]
[C]He talked real funny
[F]like we never hea[C]rd[F]
Must have been [G]foreign [Am]I guess
[F]And I felt like an [C]actress is [E]an old, old [Am]movie
As [F]Lonnie [G]and I drove [C]away

[Verse 3]
We were saying [Dm]goodbye to
the ones [G]left behind
[Dm]Hello to the ones up [G]ahead
[F]Lonnie and [C]me were just [E]running on [Am]East
While the [F]radio [G]Deejay said
[C]Kee[Cm]p your eyes open
for [F]Lonnie and Josie
[Bb]Sixteen and fourteen playing
[Eb]hockey from [Bb]school[Cm]
Last seen they were walking the [F]road
By [Bb]the courtroom downtown the Laredo
At a [Eb]quarter past [Bb]two
[Eb][Bb][C][Bb][F]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Our friend in the front [F]seat
Turned around [C]and smiled[F]
Grinning and shaking his [C]head[F]
Asked us po[C]litely [E]where
we were go[Am]ing
Where [F]the sand turns to sea
on the coast I [G]said[C]
We were crossing the border
[F]just out of [C]Texas
Past [F]the last dusty [G]abandoned
old [Am]farm
With the [F]A.M. [C]playing [Em]song
[E]s of Sin[Am]atra
[F]Lonnie [G]sleeping in my arm[C]s[F][C]

[Verse 5]
We were saying [Dm]goodbye to
the ones [G]left behind
[Dm]Hello to the ones [F]up [G]ahead
[F]Lonnie and [C]me were just
[E]running on [Am]East
While [F]the radio [G]Deejaysai[C]d[Cm]
Keep your eyes open for [F]Lonnie and Josie
[Bb]Sixteen and fourteen playing hocke[Eb]y
from [Bb]school[Gm][Bb][Cm]
Last seen they were walking [F]the road
By [Bb]the courtroom downtown the Laredo
At a [Eb]quarter past two
[Bb]

[Verse 6]
[Cm]
Keep your eyes open for
[F]Lonnie and [Bb]Josie
[Eb]Keep your [Bb]eyes[Eb][Bb][Cm]
open for Lonnie and [F]Josie[Bb]
At a [Eb]quarter past [Bb]two[Cm]
Keep your eyes open
[F]for Lonnie and Josie
[Bb]Keep your eyes open [Eb]for[Bb]
[Cm]Lonn[F]ie and J[Bb]osie...

[Outro 1]
[Bb][Eb]
