[Verse 1]

        C                             G     C/G
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window
                C                                      G      C/G
I was all night runnin', runnin', Lord I wonder if you care
        C                      G       C/G
I had a run in, run around and run down
               C                                       G C/G
Run around the corner, corner, Lord I run smack into a tree


[Chorus]

         D     Am     G            C  D 
I had to move, move, really had to move
C                 G            D              C    
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Am                     C            G/C               (Repeat Intro)
Bertha don't you come around here anymore


[Verse 2]

                  C                           G C/G
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea
                        C                             G C/G
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines
                      C                                   G C/G
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin, I turned around to see
              C                              G C/G
Heard a voice callin', you were comin' after me


[Chorus]

         D     Am     G            C  D 
I had to move, move, really had to move
C                 G            D              C    
That's why if you please, I am on my bended knees
Am                     C            G/C               (Repeat Intro)
Bertha don't you come around here anymore


[Verse 3]

           C                                    G C/G
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door
               C                                         G C/G
It's all night pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me
         C                                G       C/G
Test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me
                  C                                   G C/G
Throw me into the jail house, Lord until the sun goes down
