[Em] [E]
Well, there was a New York attorney bout to take a southern journey in the places that
he'd never been.
She was a brunette out of Brooklyn, that tall, [B] handsome, good-looking, but with a body that
was made [E] for sin.
She wanted him for marriage, of course, but she [A] cared what's hotter than the fire to hell.
[E] But he said he didn't need [A] her, so she followed him down deep [B] into the bunker of a Bible [E] bed.
She prayed her dance, she pleaded, she told him all she needed was a little tender love and care.
But he was rapid at work and acting like a jerk, [B] thought the feeling that she wasn't there.
[E] But her heart was love-stricken, so she never thought of [A] quitting, giving up on pastors'
hell.
[E] She had plans to do the [A] best she could, she would listen [B] to Knox [E] in the Bible bed.
[A] There's a lot of good people who let their [E] friends believe they're loved and cared, [A] but
I tell you something brother, when you deal with your feelings, [F#m] you're taught to keep
a level [B] head.
[E] And it's hard to imagine how the flames of [A] passion will burn through your soul, yeah.
[E] And it'll spread like a [A] cancer through your glass, a [B] cancer through your [E] heart in the Bible bed.
Yeah.
[A] [E] Come on.
[A] No matter [F#] [B]
[E] [A]
[E] [A] [B] [E]
who you are, if you're a peasant or a plow, there's a need for love in every man.
He proudly burned his tomb underneath a southern moon, [B] which he finally laid him on a [E] fern.
Every man's got his pride and he'll try to run [A] and hide, but most of that is hard to fail.
[E] So he gave her love a [A] chance when he found romance [B] in the heart [E] of the Bible bell.
[F#] [A] Yeah.
There's a lot of good people who let their [E] friends believe they're loved and cared, [A] but

[E] And it's hard to imagine how the flames of [A] passion will burn through your soul, yeah.
[E] And it'll spread like a cancer [A] through your glass, a cancer [B] through your heart in the Bible [E] bed.
They better get their heads [A] together or they're gonna fly for [B] living with their hearts in
the [E] Bible bed.
[N] Amen, brother.
