Tom: G
G C
Empty beer bottles rattle on my pistol
Em D C
On the seat of my Chevy pickup truck
G
I'm taking these gravel roads
C
fast as my truck will go
Em D C
I'm running like a scared white tail buck
G C
It was an all night card game with Earl Ray and Bobby
Em D C
And some old boy they work with from Adair
G C
That boy didn't like me then he said I was cheating
Em D C D
gunshots rang out on the midnight air
Chorus”
C D
I don't want to see the daylight
G C
But my Becky's alone tonight
C D G
I wonder if she's waiting up for me
G
I’m gonna hide out in the bottoms
C
Where I hunted deer and turkeys
Em D C
I know that swamp like the back of my hand
G
Hell I was born and raised here
C
Just wanted to be a good old boy
Em D C
never thought I'd ever be a wanted man
G
Well soon they're gonna catch me,
C
Ain't no way around that
E D C
Cause I don't know any other place to hide
G C
I wonder if Becky's bible is still in the glove box
Em D C D
Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy dies
Chorus
G
Sometime tomorrow morning
C
When I ought to be fishing
Em D C
They'll probably be hauling me in
G
I'll be sitting in the jail house
C
no need to be wishing
Em D C D
That I'll ever get to fish the Green river again
C D
I'll be praying for some daylight
G C
While my Becky's alone at night
C D G
I wonder if she's waiting up for me
C D G
I wonder if she's waiting up for me
