Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
G D A Bm
G D Asus4 A

[Verse]
G D A
When you’re from down around where I grew up
G D Asus4 A
You go down in that river then you come back up
G D A
Then one night in a field ‘round a bonfire lit
G D
You get passed a jar, and you take a little sip
A
So here I sit

[Chorus]
G D
It’s like oh, oh, oh
A Bm7 G D
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
A Bm7 G D
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
A Bm G
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
A
High and over empty
G Asus4 A
Bible versus whiskey

[Verse]
G D A Asus4 A
Some nights it’s them words in red
G D Asus4 A
That helps me, heals me, clears my head
G D A Asus4 A
But then other nights when I ain’t that tough
G D
It’s straight ninety-proof in a Dixie cup
Asus4 A
As I fill ‘er up

[Chorus]
G D
It’s like oh, oh, oh
A Bm7 G D
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
A Bm G D
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
A Bm7 G
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
A
High and over empty
G D A
Bible versus whiskey-ey

Bm G D Asus4 A
Bible versus whiskey-ey

[Break]
G D Asus4 A
That devil right here on my shoulder
G D A
Keeps remindin’ me that I can’t hold her

[Chorus]
G D
It’s like oh, oh, oh
A Bm7 G D
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
A G D
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh

A Bm7 G
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
A
High and over empty

[Chorus]
G D
And it’s like oh, oh, oh
A Bm7 G D
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
A Bm G D
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
A Bm G
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
A
High and over empty
G D A
Bible versus whiskey

[Outro]
Bm7 G D A
Bible versus whiskey-ey
G D A
Bible versus whiskey

Bm G D A
