           |  G  /  C G  | G  /  C G  :||

I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.

I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care,

I had a run in, run around, and run down.

Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree.

 

Chorus           |D / Am /|G / C D|C / G /|D / C /|Am / C /| G / C / |G / C G|

I had to move, really had to move,

That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,

Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

 

Verse 2           Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea.

Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines.

I had a feelin' I was fallin', I turned around to see,

Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was commin' after me.

Verse 3           Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door.

It's all night pourin',  Lord but not a drop on me.

Test me, test me, Why don't you arrest me?

Throw me in to the jailhouse, until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.

 

Chorus  3x   à  Anymore, Anymore..... (End on G7)
