James Keelaghan - Leave Town
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:  F   C     G(4x) 
I Cknocked off work at four o'clock, the sun was beating downF  
The foreman offered Cdouble-time, but GI couldn't hang aroundC  
We won't need the money when we're out beside the lake
Why Fdon't you grab your fishing pole, it's Gtime we made a break
CHORUS:
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh my Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left CtownF  C  G  F  C  G  C  
Don't forget to pack the ice, don't forget the beansF  
Don't forget my Clittle bag, Gyou know the one I meanC  
Don't forget to lock the door, don't forget the stove
FDon't forget to leave the house eight Gtimes before you go
CHORUS:
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh my Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh my Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
INSTRUMENTAL:  F   C     G   F   C     G   F   C     G   F   C     G  C  
Big red moon is rising, shimmers in the heat
A Fgust of wind blows Cup a draw, Gdances in a field of wheat
My Carm around your shoulder as we're headed out of town
The Fstereo cranked up and the Gwindows all rolled down
CHORUS:
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh my Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
Oh my Fdarling, it's Gtime that we left Ctown
