Betty I'm Married

Capo on 3rd fret

Intro: G C G G

        G         C
Well this beer´s as cold
     G
As the night is hot
      G      Em
And Satan´s own coals
             D
Ain´t as hot as Shrevesport tonight
            G     C
I´ve been down here working
            G    Em
But tonight I´m playing
            D
And I´m going home Sunday
     G
Back to Macon

      G        C
Well I knew that she
            G
Was trouble when I seen her
                     G     Em
And I told myself I was just being 
nice
            D
Till her hand was on my knee
             G   C
And I know that she saw
         G       Em
Saw my hand and saw that ring
             D
But I swear that´s when Betty
                  G
Moved a little closer to me

CHORUS
        G   C
Betty I´m married
        G
Betty I´m taken
             G    Em
But she ain´t here with me
       D
Tonight to save me
             G    C
Yeah I´ve been lonely lately
         G     Em
And you got me thinking
            D
That you sure look good to me
         G
But Betty I´m married

BRIDGE 1: C D G G

          G      C
Well the band did play
      G
And Betty did sing
        G         Em
And she kept pouring drinks
        D
And she kept playing me
        G    C
And I found myself
              G         Em
Out on the floor, out in her arms
         D
Swaying to the music
                G
Of a beat that I can´t keep

CHORUS

        G   C
Betty I´m married
        G

             G    Em
But she ain´t here with me
       D
Tonight to save me
             G    C
Yeah I´ve been lonely lately
         G     Em
And you got me thinking
            D
That you sure look good to me
         G
But Betty I´m married


BRIDGE 2: D D C G D D Em D C

       G       C
Well the morning light
           G
Is always bright with no blinds
        G        Em
And she lay sleeping there
          D
So beatiful in my eyes
          G           C
And she wakes to find me starting
             G               Em
And she´s glad that I ain´t gone
           D
Yeah it´s Monday morning
            G
And I´m glad to be home
