I Had Me A Girl chords by The Civil Wars

Em Em B Em x2

[Verse]

Em
I had me a girl
          B
Who taught me those things
          Em
A young man should know

Em
Down, down on my knees
          B
I’d beg and I’d plead
           Em
To learn a little bit more

[PreChorus]

Am             Em
Oh that woman taught me to pray
Am         B
I saw Heaven every day

Lord, she could,


[Chorus]

Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em
ooooooooh


[Verse]

Em
I had me a boy
        B
who buttoned me down
      Em
Drew me a line

Em
He, he washed me as clean
         B
As a sinner could be
       Em
Showed me the light

Am              Em
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
Am               B
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways

Lord, he could,


[Chorus]

Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em
ooooooooh


[Instrumental part]

G G/F#  Em  x3
G Am   B

Em    B Em x2

(in the original song this part is (almost) a capella, but I'm adding chords anyway for convenience)

Em
I had me a girl
        B
Like cigarette smoke
         Em
She came and she went
Em
I slipped through his hands
        B
To my back door man
Em
Under his chin

Am             Em
Oh that woman taught me to pray
Am            B
But for all her wandering ways

She could,


[Chorus] x2

Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em
ooooooooh
