Bottles And Bibles - Tyler Childers | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D#
Bottles and bibles
           D#7
Litter the floor
               G#
An all night revival
                  D#
Passed out around 4
Now the preacher's been drinkin'
                     D#7
But it's hard not to do
                      G#
Since she ran out the screen door
                    D#
And swore they were through

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
   Fm                        G#
Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here
          Fm              G#        D#
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                       G#                      D#
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
                  A#                      D#
When everybody in town points a finger at you
D#7                     G#                               D#
  But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
                       A#                            D#
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
           D#
He didn't believe her

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                        D#7
He just knew she'd come home
                       G#
But the nights kept a' crawlin'
                  D#
As he laid there alone
And he'd call up to heaven
                       D#7
And he'd hope and he'd pray
                      G#
But the line's always busy
                D#
Since he went astray

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   Fm                           G#
Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers
          Fm              G#        D#
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                       G#                      D#
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
                  A#                      D#
When everybody in town points a finger at you
D#7                     G#                               D#
  But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
                       A#                            D#
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do

[Break]
---------------------
G# D# A# D#                   D#
       Now the bottles and bibles

[Verse 3]
---------------------
               D#7
Broke out in a fight
                   G#
The whiskey fought hard, son
                          D#
And took the victory that night
They found him a' layin'
                 D#7
Face down by the stairs
                 G#
Dressed up for a sermon
             D#
Nobody would hear

[Pre-Chorus (3)]
---------------------
   Fm                        G#
So Lord if you care, send an angel down here
          Fm              G#        D#
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again



[Outro]
---------------------
   Fm                        G#
Oh Lord if you care, send an angel down here
          Fm              G#        D#
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
