Capo on 3rd fret 
 
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
