Am
Billy sipped his rum can as he speeded out of town
Am
Monday afternoon there would be no cops around
G                                     F
She was good but he knew that she was out of bounds
                     Am
Now hes out of this town

[Verse 2]
Am
He said Id hold her tight once a week then I leave her once again
Am
Got to shoot my quota Ill see her next weekend
G                                  F
I dont know if shes worth it but again Im blowing dust
          Am
To her town

[Chorus]
C             G            F
The wreck lay on the river bed
C            G                        F
The road was wide and dry and the policeman shook his head
C           G              F
There is no answer to this end
C       G       F                    G  Am
Another mystery flows past chillers bend

[Verse 3]
Am
Her dad he runs the chiller, his name is Max the killer
Am
If you knew bill what Max could do it would make your backbone shiver
G                                     F
What happened to the last boy who came snooping round
                     Am
Now hes out of this town

[Verse 4]
Am
She said meet me on the north side the plan will go this way
Am
Your gunna take me from my father Billy, or therell be hell to pay
G                                                    F
Ill wear the dress that you love best, Ill wear my dark hair down
                          Am
And well get out of this town

[Chorus]
C             G            F
The wreck lay on the river bed
C            G                        F
The road was wide and dry and the policeman shook his head
C           G              F
There is no answer to this end
C       G       F                    G  Am
Another mystery flows past chillers bend

[Verse 5]
Am
Beccy stood there waiting her Billy didnt show
Am
Her head it was a spinning and her heart beat fast then slow
G                                        F
Lights approached, daddy Max said, Billys drowned
                     Am
Now hes out of this town

[Chorus]
C             G            F
The wreck lay on the river bed
C            G                        F
The road was wide and dry and the policeman shook his head
C           G              F
There is no answer to this end
C       G       F                    G  Am
Another mystery flows past chillers bend
