Capo on 3rd fret 
 
Intro: G5 C5 G5 G5 
 
            G5             C5 
Well this beer?s as cold  
        G5 
As the night is hot 
            G5         E5 
And Satan?s own coals          
                   D5 
Ain?t as hot as Shrevesport tonight 
                     G5       C5 
I?ve been down here working  
                  G5     E5 
But tonight I?m playing 
                    D5 
And I?m going home Sunday  
         G5 
Back to Macon 
 

         G5            C5 
Well I knew that she 
                     G5 
Was trouble when I seen her 
                               G5        E5 
And I told myself I was just being nice 
                  D5 
Till her hand was on my knee 
                     G5   C5 
And I know that she saw 
                 G5            E5 
Saw my hand and saw that ring 
                     D5 
But I swear that?s when Betty 
                          G5 
Moved a little closer to me 
 
CHORUS 
           G5       C5 
Betty I?m married 
           G5 
Betty I?m taken 
                    G5      E5 
But she ain?t here with me 
            D5 
Tonight to save me 
                       G5     C5 
Yeah I?ve been lonely lately 
                 G5      E5 
And you got me thinking 
                    D5 
That you sure look good to me 
               G5 
But Betty I?m married 
 
BRIDGE 1: 
C5 D5 G5 G5 
 
               G5        C5 
Well the band did play  
           G5 
And Betty did sing 
               G5            E5 
And she kept pouring drinks 
               D5 
And she kept playing me 
             G5      C5 
And I found myself 
                      G5           E5 
Out on the floor, out in her arms 
                D5 
Swaying to the music 
                        G5 
Of a beat that I can?t keep 
 
CHORUS 
 

           G5       C5 
Betty I?m married 
           G5 
Betty I?m taken 
                    G5      E5 
But she ain?t here with me 
            D5 
Tonight to save me 
                       G5     C5 
Yeah I?ve been lonely lately 
                 G5      E5 
And you got me thinking 
                    D5 
That you sure look good to me 
               G5 
But Betty I?m married 
              
BRIDGE 2: 
D5 D5 C5 G5 D5 D5 E5 D5 C5 
 
          G5            C5 
Well the morning light 
                  G5 
Is always bright with no blinds 
              G5            E5 
And she lay sleeping there 
                D5 
So beatiful in my eyes 
                  G5                C5 
And she wakes to find me starting 
                      G5                 E5 
And she?s glad that I ain?t gone 
                  D5 
Yeah it?s Monday morning 
                    G5 
And I?m glad to be home
