[Intro]
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 Am
To head to Montana where the weathers
colder,
F C
Or they might steer south where the rivers red,
G Am
Only thing they need now is eachother or dead
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G Am
Matt went to work nearly everyday and in one months they’ll be on their way,
F C G Am
Audie prepared the van you see for a getaway bound for robbery
[Chorus]
F C G Am
So Won’t you load up this bag, because my sweet Audie is tired,
F C G Am
I promised her a life and I swear to God I’ll fire
F C G Am
Cause her stomach it keeps growling as my hands are callused rock
F C G Am
I’d rather die a desperate man than a man that gets caught
[Guitar Solo}
F C C Am x3
[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 Am
I will buy you diamonds bigger than than the stars at sea
[Chorus]
F C G Am
So Won’t you load up this bag, because my sweet Audie is tired,
F C G Am
I promised her a life and I swear to God I’ll fire
F C G Am
Cause her stomach it keeps growling as my hands are callused rock
F C G Am
I’d rather die a desperate man than a man that gets caught
[Guitar Solo]
F C C Am X2
[Verse 4]
F C
Matt and Audie were a few fine folk,
G Am
Made love in the morning with a few high hopes,
F C G Am
They stand so brave in a house out East, And tonight Audie cooking herself a feast
[Guitar Solo]
F C C Am x2
[Outro]
F C
Matt and Audie were a few fine folks,
G Am
Made love in the morning with a few high hopes.
