Matt And Audie

F C G Am


[Verse 1]
F            C
Matt & 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 kick some 
dirt,
     G              Am
in a town only good part time work


[Verse 2]
               F              C
They bought an Astrovan and a loaded
 revolver,
   G                        
To head to Montana where the 
 Am
weathers

colder,
        F                          
Or they might steer south where the
 C
 rivers red,
     G                     
Only thing they need now is 
   Am
eachother or dead


[Pre-Chorus]
F                        C       
Matt went to work nearly everyday
            G                 Am
 and in one months they’ll be on 
their way,
F                  C             
Audie prepared the van you see 
    G                 Am
for a getaway bound for robbery


[Chorus]
             F            C  
So Won’t you load up this bag, 
               G              Am
because my sweet Audie is tired,
  F               C          G   
I promised her a life and I swear
              Am
 to God I’ll fire
          F                  C    
Cause her stomach it keeps 
          G                 Am
growling as my hands are callused 
rock
    F               C             
I’d rather die a desperate man 
    G              Am
than a man that gets caught

[Verse 3]
   F                      C
He made it out alive, and looked her
 in the  eye,
       G                 Am
And He told his lover no more just 
scraping by,
      F                         C
We’re gonna’ be richer than the big 
machine,
               G                   
I will buy you diamonds bigger than
          Am
 than the stars at sea


[Chorus]
             F            C  
So Won’t you load up this bag, 
               G              Am
because my sweet Audie is tired,
  F               C          G   
I promised her a life and I swear
              Am
 to God I’ll fire
          F                  C    
Cause her stomach it keeps 
          G                 Am
growling as my hands are callused 
rock
    F               C             
I’d rather die a desperate man 
    G              Am
than a man that gets caught

Matt and Audie were a few fine folk,
     G                          Am
Made love in the morning with a few

     F                   C        
They stand so brave in a house out
           G                    
 East, And tonight Audie cooking 
Am
herself a feast
