Chords for The Petersens - Ballad of John & Beckie

_ Oh, _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] oh
_ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
You've come now to hear the story I'll tell
[G] Of the man wearing chains who's living in [D] my cell _ _
This _ freedom he lost from a choice he once [B] made
[G] Now he's forced to drive nails till the end of [D] his day _ _ _
_ Oh, Becky was fair and her Kimper was kind
[G] Those weren't the traits that made John lose [D] his mind _ _ _
_ Her voice meant a trance that captured his soul
[G] And John soon fell deep into _ _ [D] fabulous harm _ _ _
He'd never _ suffered the strain by her side
[G] He swore he'd love her till the day that [D] he _ died _
_ _ [E] [Dm] Becky knew she'd be _ [G] _
_ _ with him
So one night she left just as fast as she [D] _ came _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] Oh, _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _ oh _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
Oh
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ John found peace in his love turned to [Gm] hate
Deep in the forest her love he'd [Dm] take _ _ _
God _ [D] _ _ carried the song in his head
[Gm] But the wind carried songs of the _ _ [Dm] _ air _ _
_ _ [Gm] With wind he found peace for a while
_ [Dm] Oh, _ _ [Gm] oh
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
oh
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Haunted [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ with guilt he turned himself in
[G] Now he drives nails to pay for [D] his _ sins _ _
_ If he won't find, if only one man could take
[G] Nails and bones for all his [Dm] _ _ _ _
sins
[G] So feel like _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] you're looking for [Gm] _
a [Dm] _ _ way _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] Oh, _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ oh
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
