Chris Knight – Beckys Bible (Guitar)

G                  C 
Empty beer bottles rattle on my pistol

Em                D             C
On the seat of my Chevy pickup truck

G
I'm taking these gravel roads

C
fast as my truck will go

    Em             D                 C
I'm running like a scared white tail buck

          G                   C 
It was an all night card game with Earl Ray and Bobby

    Em                D               C
And some old boy they work with from Adair

G                       C
That boy didn't like me then he said I was cheating

 Em            D                   C      D
gunshots rang out on the midnight air 

        C               D
I don't want to see the daylight

G              C
But my Becky's alone tonight

  C           D              G
I wonder if she's waiting up for me

G
I’m gonna hide out in the bottoms

C
Where I hunted deer and turkeys

Em          D                         C 
I know that swamp like the back of my hand

G
Hell I was born and raised here

C
Just wanted to be a good old boy

Em            D                   C  
never thought I'd ever be a wanted man

G
Well soon they're gonna catch me,

C
Ain't no way around that

E                  D                  C
Cause I don't know any other place to hide

G                          C   
I wonder if Becky's bible is still in the glove box

Em                   D                   C       D
Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy dies

G
Sometime tomorrow morning

C
When I ought to be fishing

Em               D             C
They'll probably be hauling me in

G
I'll be sitting in the jail house

C
no need to be wishing

Em                    D                    C         D
That I'll ever get to fish the Green river again

        C                D  
I'll be praying for some daylight

G                 C
While my Becky's alone at night

  C               D              G 
I wonder if she's waiting up for me     

  C               D              G 
I wonder if she's waiting up for me
