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]
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
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]
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
