Matt And Audie

[Intro]
F C G Am F C
G Am

[Verse 1]
F              C
Matt and Audie were a few fine folk
     G                   Am
Made love in the morning with a few high hopes
       F            C
They'd leave a note and they'd kick up dirt
     G              Am
In a town only good for parttime work
               F         C
They bought an Astro van and a loaded revolver
       G           Am
To head to Montana where the weather's colder
     F                 C
They might steer South where the river's red
     G                   Am
Only thing they need now is each other or dead
    F             C
Matt went to work nearly every day
       G
And in one month's time,
Am
they'll be on their way
F             C
Audie prepared the van, you see
      G            Am
For a getaway bound  to robbery

[Chorus]
So,
          F           C               G              Am
won't you load up this bag because my sweet Audie is tired?
  F             C
I promised her a life
  G                 Am
I swear to God, I'll  fire
           F                  C
'Cause her stomach, it's keeps turnin'
   G                  Am
My hands are calloused  rock
    F          C                      G           Am
I'd rather die a desperate man than a man that got  caught

[Verse 2]
       F             C
He made it out alive and looked her in the eyes
    G             Am
Told his lover, No  more scrapin' by
      F               C
We're gonna be richer than the big machine
             G               Am
I'll buy you diamonds bigger than the stars at sea

[Chorus]
So,
          F           C               G              Am
won't you load up this bag because my sweet Audie is tired?
  F             C
I promised her a life
  G                 Am
I swear to God, I'll  fire
           F                  C
'Cause her stomach, it's keeps turnin'
   G                  Am
My hands are calloused  rock
    F          C                      G            Am
I'd rather die a desperate man than a man that got caught

[Outro]
F              C
Matt and Audie were a few fine folk
     G                    Am
Made love in the mornin's with a few high hopes
     F              C
They stand so brave in a house out East
      G
And tonight,
                Am
Audie's cookin' herself a feast
