Lori McKenna - Bible Song
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
No strangers in this town
No one moves without making a sound
F G
You live and die within the 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
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Dm G C
So nobody would sing some bible song over me
[Verse 3]
My cousin died in his sleep
Forty pills, two kids to keep
F G
And how will she explain to those kids
C
About the sorry thing daddy did
[Chorus]
F
They marry young in these parts
C
They raise their kids and set them free
F
So I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Dm G C
So nobody would sing some bible 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
C
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
F
I ran as fast as I could
C
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
[Outro]
F C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, ahhh
F C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
F G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
