Introduction: G G G C G G G
C G C/G
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window
C G C/G
I was all night runnin', runnin', Lord I wonder if you care
C G C/G
I had a run in, run around and run down
C G C/G
Run around the corner, corner, Lord I run smack into a tree
D Am G C D
I had to move, move, really had to move
C G D C
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Am C G/C
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
C G C/G
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea
C G C/G
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines
C G C/G
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin, I turned around to see
C G C/G
Heard a voice callin', you were comin' after me
D Am G C D
I had to move, move, really had to move
C G D C
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Am C G/C
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
C G C/G
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door
C G C/G
It's all night pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me
C G C/G
Test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me
C G C/G
Throw me into the jail house, Lord until the sun goes down
(Chorus - Repeat a few times)
