Intro: G

Verse 1:
        C                             G     C 
I had a hard run, runnin' from your window
                C                                      G      C 
I was all night runnin', runnin', Lord I wonder if you care
        C                      G       C 
I had a run in, run around and run down
               C                                       G C 
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     
Bertha don't you come around here anymore

Verse 2:
                  C                           G C 
Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea
                        C                             G C 
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines
                      C                                   G C 
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin, I turned around to see
              C                              G C 
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      
Bertha don't you come around here anymore

Verse 3:
           C                                    G C 
Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door
               C                                         G C 
It's all night pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me
         C                                G       C 
Test me, test me, test me, why don't you arrest me
                  C                                   G C 
Throw me into the jail house, Lord until the sun goes down

Chorus (repeat):
         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      
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
