        The Bellamy Brothers started their musical career at the end of the 1960s. In 1968, they had their first official gig, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida, USA. They kept playing throughout the South, often with already recognized musicians, such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and others. A couple of months later, the brothers moved up north, discovering the potentials of rock/country music in Atlanta, Georgia.

D
If I said you had a beautiful body 
                       C   G
would you hold it against me 
     D
If I swore you were an angel 
                                   C   G
would you treat me like the devil tonight 
    D
If I were dying of thirst 
                                C   G
would you flow in love come quince me 
   C                           D
If I said you had a beautiful body 
                          G
would you hold it against me

 
 
Verse 1 

G                                     C
Now we could talk all night about the weather 
       Am                                   D
I could tell you about my friends out on the coast 
 G                          C
I could ask a lot of crazy questions 
   Am                           G
Or ask you what I really want to know. 
 

Chorus 
 
 
Verse 2 

G                                     C
Now rain can fall so soft against the window 
       Am                            D
The sun can shine so bright up in the sky 
 G                               C
But Daddy always said don't make small talk 
   Am                                     G
He said come on out and say what's on your mind 
 
 
Chorus

If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body

Intro D  G  D  G

          D              Dmaj7  
There's a reason for the sunshiny sky
          D
There's a reason why I'm, feeling so high
            A                                       D

And then go stealing through the moonlit night with your lover


Chorus
              G
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
             D
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
             A 						     D      D7
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean- it's the season
         G   
Let your love fly like a bird on the wind
	     D
And let your love find you to all living things
             A      					        D
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean- that's the reason.

          D              Dmaj7 
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
 	      D
and there's a reason for the candle lights
	    A					    D	     
must be the season when those love lights shine all around us
 	    D               Dmaj7 
So let that wonder take you into space
	    D
And lay you under its loving embrace
	      A						D        D7
Just feel the thunder as it warms your face- you can't hold back

Redneck Girl

G                      Cadd9                Am 
I know the reasons why you're not here with me 
G                                  Cadd9        Am 
Well I told you I'd survive if you ever have to leave  
D                        Cadd9 
And in the light of day, I tend to do ok 
D                            Cadd9       D 
But when my night takes hold, I think of you 
       G    Cadd9          G     Cadd9 
Cra-a-a-zy from the heart 
     G              Em                C                 D 
Well I reach out to touch you but you know we're in the dark 
        G   Cadd9             Em    C 
My mind kno-o-o-ws why we're apart 
         G Am  C   D              G        
But I go cra-a-zy, crazy from the heart      
In my mind there's no doubt we could not make it last 
Well, I've learned to live without the love that's in the past 
But in the night so still, her mem'ries feel so real 
They make my blood run cold, I reach for you 
 
Chorus 
Em                  C                         Am

Crazy From The Heart

Intro: D A D 
 
             D                 A         D 
Last night I dreamed I went to Hillbilly Hell 
    G                                     D 
The Devil stepped right up, and he said, "Well 
    G                                 D                Bm 
You looked so countrified, leave your hat and boots outside 
          D                   A         D 
You won't need 'em, you're in Hillbilly Hell." 
 
          D              A              D                 
Well they had a band without a steel guitar 
    G                                  D 
And not one good ol' girl stood at the bar 
   G                             D            Bm 
No jukebox and no beer, am I the only redneck here 
        D                A               D 
And the parkin' lot, was full of foreign cars.
       G                       D 
Hillbilly Hell, I'm not feelin' so well 
                                             A 
Where did I go wrong, was it somethin' in my song 
                              D  
That put me in this Hillbilly Hell.       
D A D 
            D      A               D  
I asked the Devil, just what did I do 
   G                                    D 
To have to sweat it out, down here with you 
   G                          D             Bm 
To me it don't seem fair, why can't I be up there 
         D            A               D 
With the rest, Marty, Hank, and Patsy too. 
 
            D                 A               D 
He said you didn't write, one good ol' gospel song 
    G                               D 
And not one little word, about your mom 
G                             D      Bm 
And you haven't yet, sing one single duet 
     D             A                   D 
With Willie Nelson and you know that's wrong. 
 
       Bm                           A       D 
Well I woke up to a country station on my radio 
G                               D 
Grabbed a pen and paper and the words began to flow 
  Bm                                    A              D 
I wrote a song called God Bless Mom and ran out to the bus 
E                                  A          
Placed a call to Willie, would you like to sing with us. 
 
Chorus: 
 
  D             A        G         D         
I dreamed I was there in Hillbilly Hell

Hillbilly Hell

Verse 1:
G                                 D
Hearts, burning like they were on fire,
Am     D                      G
plans, changing our love to desire.
G                              D
Babe, my heart is screaming to say,
Am    D                      G
girl, we ought to go all the way.

Chorus:
       G
I need more of you,
                      D
changing my rain into sun,
Am           D                       G
more of you, putting my blues on the run.
       G
I need more of you,
                       D
darling I need more of you,
Am     D                      G
more - anything less wouldn't do.

Verse 2:
G                        D
We had been together too long.
Am       D                     G
Strange, how did I love you so strong?
G                           D
There's nothing to keep us apart.
Am D                    G
We got to catch up to a heart.

(Chorus...)

More Of You

&quot;Let Your Love Flow&quot; is the title of a pop song written by Larry E. Williams, a former roadie for Neil Diamond, and made popular by the American country music duo The Bellamy Brothers. It was offered to Neil Diamond first, but he turned it down. Howard Bellamy told Songfacts: &quot;Well, it really wasn't in Neil Diamond's vein.&quot; He added: &quot;But when we heard it we had an idea of how we wanted to record it because it kind of fit our style, acoustic bass with a groove, and I think that has a lot to do with it.

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime

But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky,

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

             F                    C                G
