[Verse 1]
E A E
There's a story I must tell about my Rocky Mountain Belle
B7
She was everything to me my very life
E A E
We had smiles and we had tears and for twenty-seven years
B7 E
She promised me someday she'd be my wife
[Verse 2]
A E
With a ceremony planned I had bought the wedding band
B7
And invited all the neighbors to the farm
E A E
But the day we was to wed, I got tired and stayed in bed
B7 E
Now the whole darn countryside is up in arms
[Chorus]
A
They're burning down the house I was brung up in
E B7
And yelling come on out and take your bride
E A
Yeah they're burning down the house I was brung up in
B7 E
But what a fool I'd be to go outside
[Verse 3]
A E
There's her pappy at the gate with a loaded thirty-eight
B7
And he's yelling come on out before I shoot
E A E
Oh I wonder if he knows I've got on his Sunday clothes
B7 E
If he shoots that'd be goodbye to pappy's suit
[Instrumental]

They're burning down the house I was brung up in

And yelling come on out and take your bride
