Bottles And Bibles chords by Tyler Childers

• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
       C/G
Bottles and bibles
 C/G    C7
Litter the floor
 C7      F  F7
An all night revival
 F7       C/G
Passed out around 4

              C/G
Now the preacher's been drinkin'
 C/G         C7
But it's hard not to do
 C7           F   F7
Since she ran out the screen door
 F7          C/G
And swore they were through

(Pre Chorus)
  Dm             F
Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here
       Dm       F    C/G     C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Chorus:
 C7          F            C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
          G G7          C/G  C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
 C7          F               C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
 C/G          G G7             C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do

Verse 2:
         C/G
He didn't believe her
 C/G           C7
He just knew she'd come home
 C7           F   F7
But the nights kept a' crawlin'
F7        C/G
As he laid there alone

           C/G
And he'd call up to heaven
C/G           C7
And he'd hope and he'd pray
C7          F  F7
But the line's always busy
F7       C/G
Since he went astray

Pre Chorus:
  Dm              F
Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers
       Dm       F    C/G    C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Chours:
C7          F            C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
C/G        G G7          C/G  C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
C7           F               C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
C/G          G G7             C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do

Verse 3:
           C/G
Now the bottles and bibles
 C/G       C7
Broke out in a fight
 C7           F F7
The whiskey fought hard, son
F7             C/G
And took the victory that night

          C/G
They found him a' layin'
 C/G        C7
Face down by the stairs
 C7        F F7
Dressed up for a sermon
 F7      C/G
Nobody would hear

(Pre Chourus)
   Dm             F
Oh Lord, if you care, send your angels down here
      Dm       F    C/G  C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Chorus:
C7           F            C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
 C/G        G G7          C/G C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
C7           F F7              C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
C/G          G G7             C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
