Rosemary With A Bible And A Gun Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[INTRO]

[Em]

[VERSE]

As s[Em]trong as the day was long
[D]Rosemary would sing along
[Am]Wheels rolling steady down the w[C]ay
The [Em]ashtray it would fill up twice
The w[D]indows down felt nice
As [Am]miles stretched the twilight of the [C]day
[Em]Driving up I-55
[D]Mississippi zooming by
Sal[Am]vation in the cool November a[C]ir
I’m s[Em]earching for the mixture
That could p[D]aint a pretty picture
Of the w[Am]ind blowing through Rosemary’s [C]hair [Em]

[CHORUS]

Her d[Am]addy always said she was the o[Em]ne
Who m[Am]ade the light stars could wish up[Em]on
Rosem[Am]ary with a Bible and a [Em]gun

[VERSE]

[Em]I was more than smitten
By the w[D]ords as they were written
And the o[Am]pportunities awaiting t[C]here
Our t[Em]ime was etched and promised
Til the t[D]ruth came down upon us
Des[Am]cending all our hopes into des[C]pair
We t[Em]ook our leave and headed north
A t[D]ank at 20 dollars worth
The [Am]highway called her name like sirens[C] call
[Em]25 and on the run
[D]William Eggleston
[Am]Parking lots with neon in the f[C]all [Em]

[CHORUS]

Her d[Am]addy’s eyes drew fire into the s[Em]un
[Am]Asked me why I thought I was the o[Em]ne
His e[Am]yes could be deemed worthy to whoe[Em]ver cast upon
Rosem[Am]ary with a Bible and a [Em]gun

One k[Am]iss could turn the dark to light, the d[Em]awn
This r[Am]ollercoaster highway can’t comp[Em]are to the fun
Of M[Am]emphis saturated in dec[Em]ay and on the run
Rosem[Am]ary with a Bible and a [Em]gun
