Bible Song

	  		



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 


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 

 
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 


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
