When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I remember waking in the morning
To the sound of the rooster's
[A]crow[Asus4][A]
Mamma cook[Asus4]ing in the
[A]kit[Asus4]chen[A]
Arthur Godfrey on the radio
[D]

[Verse 2]
Me and Dad were just like
[Dsus4]strangers[D]
We never did see eye to [A]eye[Asus4][A]
Came to blows one Sunday [Asus4]morning
[A]So I packed my bags and
I said good[D]bye[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]CHORUS
When you leave that way
you can never go [Em]back
[A]A train won't run on
a torn up [D]track
Sometimes I wish I'd
never [G]roamed,o[D] h no
[Em]'Cau[A]se when you leave that
way you can never go [D]home

[Verse 4]
Then I met a girl [D]in Knoxville
Oh, we set our wedding [A]day
[Asus4]I left he[A]r standing
at the [Asus4]alter[A]
With a baby [D]on the way

[Verse 5]
[Em]RE P[A]EAT CHORUS
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][A]
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Lord I'd love
[A]to see my mom [D]and daddy
And [G]what I'd give [A]to hold
that boy [Bm]of mine
I'd [G]get down on [A]my knees
and I'd say I'm [D]sorry
If [E]I could only go back one more t[A]ime[D]

[Verse 7]
But I killed a man in [D]Houston[Dsus4][D]
When he caught me with his [A]wife
And I told the preacher man to leave
me [Asus4]alone[A]
When he came to read my [D]rights

[Verse 8]
CHORUS He [D]said
son,when you leave this
way you can never come [Em]back
[A]A soul won't roll on a torn up tra[D]ck
All through eternity you'll
[G]roam [D]alo[Em]ne
[A]'Cause when you leave this way
you can never come [D]home
All through eternity you'll
[G]roam [D]alo[Em]ne
[A]'Cause when you leave this way
you can never come [Bm]home

[Outro 1]
