San Antone Alone

A B7 A E E

[Verse]
                       A
I knew her daddy was a preacher man
                         E
When I asked him for his daughter's hand
                            F#m7
Said fire and brimstone was made for me
                        B7
The answer's no and now you can leave

[Chorus]
                    E       A
But I ain't leaving San An- tone alone
                                    E
You can pray and pray but you won't pray me gone
                             A
Lord's done told me son just hold your own
B7                      A       E
I ain't leaving San An- tone a- lone

[Solo]

                             A
I went and told her what her daddy said
                            E
She started crying cause it hurt her bad.
                              F#m7
Girl dry those eyes show some faith in me
                      B7
This loving heart can guarantee ---

[Chorus]
                    E       A
But I ain't leaving San An- tone alone
                                    E
You can pray and pray but you won't pray me gone
                             A
Lord's done told me son just hold your own
B7                      A       E
I ain't leaving San An- tone a- lone

[Bridge]
          B7
Well what I forgot to say, when I left your daddy's place
     A                     E
Your mama followed me out- side
               B7
She said don't pay him no mind, just give me tonight me
        A                       B7   F
And the Lord's gonna show him a sign ---

                      C7
Her mom and daddy are following me

To a little church in the hills of ole Tennes- see
