Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]He had a reason to get
[D]back to Lake [G]Charles
He used [C]to talk about it
He'd just go [G]on and on
He always [D]said Louisiana
Was where [G]he felt at home
He was born in [D]Nacogdoches[G]
That's in [C]East Texas
Not far from the [G]border
But he liked [D]to tell everybody
He was from [G]Lake Charles
Did an [C]angel whisper [G]in your ear
And [C]hold you close and take away your [G]fear
In those [D]long last mo[G]ments

[Verse 2]
We used [G]to drive
Through La[D]fayette and [G]Baton Rouge
In a yel[C]low Camino
Listening to [G]Howling Wolf
He liked [D]to stop in Lake Charles
'Cause that's [G]the place that he loved
Did you run about as [D]far as you could [G]go
Down the [C]Louisiana highway
Across Lake [G]Pontchartrain
Now your soul is [D]in Lake Charles
No matter [G]what they say
Did an [C]angel whisper in your [G]ear
And [C]hold you close and take away your [G]fear
In those [D]long [G]last[C][G]

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
He had a [G]reason to get [D]back
to Lake Char[G]les[C][G]
He used [C]to talk about [G]it[C]
He'd just go [G]on and on
He always [D]said Louisiana
Was where [G]he felt at home
Did an [C]angel whisper in your [G]ear
And [C]hold you close and take away your [G]fear
In those [D]long last [G]mo ments
Did an [C]angel whisper in your [G]ear
And [C]hold you close and take
away [G]your fear
In those [D]long last mo[G]ments
In those [D]long last [G]mo ments
