INTRO: G C G G 
 
            G             C 
Well this beer´s as cold  
        G 
As the night is hot 
            G         Em 
And Satan´s own coals  	  
                   D 
Ain´t as hot as Shrevesport tonight 
                     G       C 
I´ve been down here working  
                  G     Em 
But tonight I´m playing 
                    D 
And I´m going home Sunday  
         G 
Back to Macon 
 
         G            C 
Well I knew that she 
                     G 
Was trouble when I seen her 
                               G        Em 
And I told myself I was just being nice 
                  D 
Till her hand was on my knee 
                     G   C 
And I know that she saw 
                 G            Em 
Saw my hand and saw that ring 
                     D 
But I swear that´s when Betty 
                          G 
Moved a little closer to me 
 
CHORUS 
           G       C 
Betty I´m married 
           G 
Betty I´m taken 
                    G      Em 
But she ain´t here with me 
            D 
Tonight to save me 
                       G     C 
Yeah I´ve been lonely lately 
                 G      Em 
And you got me thinking 
                    D 
That you sure look good to me 
               G 
But Betty I´m married 
 
BRIDGE 1: C D G G 
 
               G 	 C 
Well the band did play  
           G 
And Betty did sing 
               G            Em 
And she kept pouring drinks 
               D 
And she kept playing me 
             G      C 
And I found myself 
                      G           Em 
Out on the floor, out in her arms 
                D 
Swaying to the music 
                        G 
Of a beat that I can´t keep 
 
CHORUS 
 
           G       C 
Betty I´m married 
           G 
Betty I´m taken 
                    G      Em 
But she ain´t here with me 
            D 
Tonight to save me 
                       G     C 
Yeah I´ve been lonely lately 
                 G      Em 
And you got me thinking 
                    D 
That you sure look good to me 
               G 
But Betty I´m married 
 	       
 
BRIDGE 2: D D C G D D Em D C 
 
          G            C 
Well the morning light 
                  G 
Is always bright with no blinds 
              G            Em 
And she lay sleeping there 
                D 
So beatiful in my eyes 
                  G                C 
And she wakes to find me starting 
                      G 	          Em 
And she´s glad that I ain´t gone 
                  D 
Yeah it´s Monday morning 
                    G 
And I´m glad to be home
