Williamson County Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Up the
stairs to the [G]back door
of the Wil[A]liamson County [D]Hotel
Lives a lady who [G]sells her time
[A]I've grown to know her [D]quite well
Each Sunday, we'd [G]find us
On a [A]picnic by the [D]river side
Then we'd ride our [G]seven
[A]Down on Carter's [D]Creek Pike
This Sunday, she acts dif[G]ferent,
I [A]feel there's something [D]strange
Her lips began [G]to speak an
[A]other man's [D]name
I think that only more months [G]ago,
I picked [A]her blood red [D]rose
Now the same hands that [G]catered to her
[A]are clutching at her [D]throat[Eb]
She struggled to find [Ab]strength,
[Bb]then I heard her [Eb]scream
You're haunted and love will [Ab]not die here,
I'll [Bb]return to curse your [Eb]dreams
So each night, in my [Ab]dreams,
my [Bb]mind will [Eb]wander
Down to the [Ab]river [Bb]that I could [Eb]run to
And I'll ride this [Ab]nightmare
all [Bb]over Williamson [Eb]County
The devil waits on my [Ab]soul for his payment
I [Bb]await the hunter of my bounty

[Outro 1]
[Eb][Bb][Eb]
