Matt And Audie chords

[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

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



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

[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
