Am
Well I grew up around Bethany
F
'cause my folks were raised in Bethany,
Am
on the East edge of the country
F Am F G
and the West edge of OKC.
Am
My grandparents bought an estate there
F
in 1938 there.
Am
A thousand nights I stayed there,
F Am F G
and a million meals I ate there, yep.
Am
My first love was Kathy,
F
and I took her out to Bethany
Am
so she could meet the family,
F Am F G A F G
and then I said "She ain't for me", no...
Am
And since Jesus went through a Bethany
F
on his way from a Galilee,
Am
I had me an epiphany
F
to write a song about... it
[Chorus]
C G F E Am F G
When I die, just lay me down beneath the ground of that town,
C G C
and we'll call it a Bethany Breakdown
[instumental solo]

[Verse]
Am
Holiday memories take me back
F
to my sister Paula and Uncle Jack,
Am
and Mark and Joey and Collin too,
F Am F G
and Mom and Dad, and all of you.
Am
Hung out there every Sunday
F
with my cousins Mike, Jake and Clay.
Am
We'd wrestle with the kids and play
F Am F G
and talk about the Girl of the Day, yep!
Am
And finally, there came a date
F
when we boys took over that real estate.
Am
The poker was fun, the girls were great
F N.C. Am F G
not the path to Heaven's gate, no
[Break]
Am F G G G7
Am
But nowadays, that house is gone,
F
the old folks have done moved on.
Am
But we still have this little song,
F
so crank it up and get it on!
[Chorus]
C G F E Am F G
When I die, just lay me down beneath the ground of that town,
C G C
and we'll call it a Bethany Breakdown
[Ending]
