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
When you're from down around where I grew up
You go down in that river then you come back up
Then one night in field 'round a bonfire lit
You get passed a jar, and you take a little sip
So here I sit
It's like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
High and over empty
Bible versus whiskey
Some nights it's them words in red
That helps me, heals me, clears my head
But then other nights when I ain't that tough
It's straight ninety-proof in a Dixie cup
As I fill 'er up
It's like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
High and over empty
Bible versus whiskey
That devil right here on my shoulder
Keeps remindin' me that I can't hold her
It's like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
High and over empty
And it's like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
High and over empty
