Becky's Bible Chris Knight
"(1)
Whole Step Down Tuning
INTRO: G -- Cadd9 -- Em7 - D - Cadd9
[G]Empty beer bottles
[Cadd9]Rattle on my pistol
[Em7]On the seat of my [D]Chevy pick up [Cadd9]truck
[G]And I'm taking these gravel roads
[Cadd9]As fast as my truck will go
I'm r[Em7]unning like a [D]scared white tail [Cadd9]buck
It was an [G]all night card game
[Cadd9]With Earl Ray and Bobby
And [Em7]some ol boy they [D]worked with from [Cadd9]Adair
[G]That boy didn't like me
[Cadd9]Then he said I was cheatin
[Em7]Gun shots rang [D]out on the midnight [Cadd9]air
[Cadd9]I dont wanna see the [D]day light
[G]But my Becky's a[Cadd9]lone at night
[Cadd9]I wonder if s[D]hes waiting up for [G]me
[G]I'm gonna hide out in the bottom
Where [Cadd9]I hunted deer and turkey
[Em7]I know that [D]swamp like the back of my [Cadd9]hand
[G]Hell I was born and raised here
Just [Cadd9]wanted to be a good ol boy
[Em7]Never thought I'd [D]ever be a wanted [Cadd9]man
But[G] soon they gonna catch me
[Cadd9]Aint no way around that
[Em7]Cause I dont know a[D]ny other place to [Cadd9]hide
I[G] wonder if Becky's Bible[Cadd9] is still in the glove box
Cause I'm [Em7]sure gonna n[D]eed it if that boy [Cadd9]died
[Cadd9]I dont wanna see the [D]day light
[G]But my Becky's a[Cadd9]lone at night
[Cadd9]I wonder if s[D]hes waiting up for [G]me
Repeat INTRO
[G]Sometime tomorrow morning
When [Cadd9]I ought to be fishing
They'll [Em7]probably be [D]hauling me [Cadd9]in
[G]I'll be sittin in the jail house
[Cadd9]No need to be wishing
I'll [Em7]ever get to [D]fish the green river a[Cadd9]gain
[Cadd9]I'll be prayin for some [D]daylight
[G]While my Becky's a[Cadd9]lone at night
[Cadd9]I wonder if s[D]hes waiting up for [G]me
I Wonder if shes waiting up for me
