Chris Knight - Becky's Bible guitar chord

Becky's Bible

By Chris Knight

Capo 3

D G

Empty beer bottles rattle on my pistol

Bm G

On the seat of my Chevy pickup truck

D

I'm taking these gravel roads

G

As fast as my truck will go

Bm A G

I'm running like a scared white tail buck

D G

It was an all night card game with Earl Ray and Bobby

Bm G

And some old boy they work with from Adair

D G

That boy didn't like me then he said I was cheating

Bm A G

And gunshots rang out on the midnight air

Chorus”

G A

I don't want to see the daylight

D G

But my Becky's alone tonight

G A D

I wonder if she's waiting up for me

I’m gonna hide out in the bottoms

Where I hunted deer and turkeys

I know that swamp like the back of my hand

Hell I was born and raised here

Just wanted to be a good old boy

I never thought I'd ever be a wanted man

Well soon they're gonna catch me,

Ain't no way around that

Cause I don't know any other place to hide

I wonder if Becky's bible is still in the glove box

Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy dies

Chorus

Sometime tomorrow morning

When I ought to be fishing

They'll probably be hauling me in

I'll be sitting in the jail house

With no need to be wishing

That I'll ever get to fish the Green river again

G A

I'll be praying for some daylight

D G

While my Becky's alone at night

G A D

I wonder if she's waiting up for me
