A                      E            A 
He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles 
           D 
He used to talk about it 
             A 
He'd just go on and on 
          E 
He always said Louisana 
             A  
Was where he felt at home 
A              E        A 
He was born in Nacogdoches 
          D 
That's in East Texas 
                 A 
Not far from the border 
                E 
But he liked to tell everybody 
                 A 
He was from Lake Charles 
       D                      A 
Did an angel whisper in your  ear 
    D                                 A 
And hold you close and take away your fear 
         E             A 
In those long last moments 
A 
We used to drive 
     E                   A 
Thru Lafayette and Baton Rouge 
     D  
In a yellow Camino 
             A 
Listening to Howling Wolf 
            E 
He liked to stop in Lake Charles 
                 A 
Cause that's the place that he loved 
A                    E               A 
Did you run about as far as you could go 
         D  
Down the Lousiana highway 
                  A 
Across Lake Ponchatrain 
                    E 
Now your soul is in Lake Charles 
          A 
No matter what they say  
       D                      A 
Did an angel whisper in your  ear 
    D                                 A 
And hold you close and take away your fear 
         E             A 
In those long last moments
