Bible Songs

Intro: G 

verse 1 
G 
No strangers in this town, nobody moves without making a sound 
Cadd9 
You live and die within the borders and the lines 
G 
No one dies without paying their fines 

verse 2 
G 
No lovers in this town, the moon's full but it sure ain't round 
Cadd9 
And just because you lie in his bed 
     G 
Don't mean he meant the things he said 


Cadd9                                              G 
They marry young in these parts, they work the factories 
Cadd9 
I ran as fast as I could, through the tall grass and the midnight woods 
   Em7                  D               G 
So no one would sing some bible song over me 

verse 3 
G 
My cousin died in his sleep, forty pills, two kids to keep 
Cadd9 
And how will she explain to those kids 
         G 
About the sorry thing daddy did 

 
Cadd9                                                            G 
They marry young in these parts, they raise their kids and set them free 
Cadd9 
I ran as fast as I could, through the tall grass and the midnight woods 
  Em7                   D              G 
So no one would sing some bible song over me

They buried him out in the cold, he was only twenty-four years old 
Cadd9                                         D      G 
How his mother came undone, when the choir sang hallelujah
