The Last One to Leave Seattle

written by Steve Norman and waylon Jennings

from the MCA reissue of "Lonesome, O'nry and Mean"

tabbed 9/4/05

INTRO: C G C

C G

Me and Julie Ray got married, we were both just 16

C

Quit school and took what work we could find

G

We just got tired of working hard, wanted to change the scenes

C

So we packed our clothes and left it all behind

C G

We got off the Trailways bus in, downtown Seattle

C

I found a job drivin' a cab and I worked all night

G

While that taxi meter clicked away, I was a-losin' my Julie Ray

C

To the honky-tonkin' bright Seattle lights

CHORUS:

C G

Will the last one to leave Seattle, please turn out the lights

C

Those lights are the reason why she ain't here tonight

G

If you see her tell her, I left for home tonight

C

Will the last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights

SOLO

C G

Seattle made Val Dolsta look like a wide place in the road

C

The brights light and the night life really turned her on

G

If those lights go out some night, I still want that girl to know

C

A light will always burn for her at home

CHORUS

C G

Will the last one to leave Seattle

C

Mmmmmm mmmm turn out the lights

Repeat C and G and fade
