Lori McKenna - Bible Song
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
No strangers in this town
No one moves without making a sound
FYou live and die within the borders and Glines
CNo one dies without paying their fines
[Verse 2]
No lovers in this town
The moon's full but it sure ain't round
FAnd just because you lie in his Gbed
Don't Cmean you meant the things you said
[Chorus]
FThey marry young in these parts
They work the factoCries 
FSo I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
So Dmnobody would sing some Gbible song over meC  
[Verse 3]
My cousin died in his sleep
Forty pills, two kids to keep
FAnd how will she explain to those Gkids
About the Csorry thing daddy did
[Chorus]
FThey marry young in these parts
They raise their kids and set them Cfree
FSo I ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
So Dmnobody would sing some Gbible song over meC  
[Bridge]
FThey buried him out in the cold
He was only twenty-four years Cold 
FHow his mother came undone
When the choir sang GhalleluCjah
[Chorus]
FI ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight Cwoods 
FI ran as fast as I could
Through the tall grass and the midnight Cwoods 
[Outro]
HalleFlujah, hallelujah, Cahhh
HalleFlujah, hallelujah, halClelujah
HalleFlujah, halleGlujah C  
Hallelujah

Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
