Bible Song

C

[Verse 1]

No strangers in this town

No one moves without making a sound
F                                 
You live and die within the 
      G
borders and lines
C
No one dies without paying their 
fines


[Verse 2]

No lovers in this town

The moon's full but it sure ain't 
round
F                               G
And just because you lie in his bed
      C
Don't mean you meant the things you 
said


[Chorus]
F
They marry young in these parts
                   C
They work the factories
F
So I ran as fast as I could

Continúa después del anuncio
Through the tall grass and the 
midnight woods
   Dm                     G       
So nobody would sing some bible 
            C
song over me


[Verse 3]

My cousin died in his sleep

Forty pills, two kids to keep
F                                 
And how will she explain to those 
G
kids
          C
About the sorry thing daddy did


[Chorus]
F
They marry young in these parts
They raise their kids and set them 
C
free
F
So I ran as fast as I could

Through the tall grass and the 
midnight woods
   Dm                     G       
So nobody would sing some bible 
            C
song over me


[Bridge]
F
They buried him out in the cold
                              C
He was only twenty-four years old
F
How his mother came undone
                    G      C
When the choir sang hallelujah


[Chorus]
F
I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the 
         C
midnight woods
F
I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the 
         C
midnight woods

     F                  C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, ahhh
     F                     C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           G      C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
