        C                           G     (C/G G) (3x)
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window
                C                                      G   (C/G G) (3x)
I was all night runnin', runnin', Lord I wonder if you care
        C                      G       (C/G G) (3x)
I had a run in, run around and run down
               C                             G (C/G G) (3x)
Run around the corner, Lord, smack into a tree


         D  Am  G                 C D
I had to mo-ove, really had to mo-o-ove
C                 G            D            C    
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knee
Am                     C                G (C/G G) (3x)     
Bertha don't you come around here anymore


                  C                           G  (C/G G) (3x)
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea
                        C                               G  (C/G G) (3x)
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines
                      C
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin, fallin
                    G  (C/G G) (3x)
I turned around to see
              C                               G (C/G G) (3x)
Heard a voice callin', you were comin' after me


Refrain

           C                           G      (C/G G) (3x)
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked into a bar door
               C
It's all night pourin', pourin' rain
                        G (C/G G) (3x)
Lord but not a drop on me
         C                                          G      (C/G G) (3x)
Test me, test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me
                  C                                    G  (C/G G) (3x)
Throw me into the jail house, Lord until the sun goes down



Refrain (sustain last G)
