I had me a girl

Who taught me those things

A augmentedA young man should know

Down, down on my knees

To learn a little bit more

[Verse]

E minorEm
I had me a boy
        BB
who buttoned me down
      E minorEm
Drew me a line

E minorEm
He, he washed me as clean
         BB
As a sinner could be
       E minorEm
Showed me the light

A minorAm              E minorEm
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
A minorAm               BB
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways

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

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

A minorAm             E minorEm
Oh that woman taught me to pray
A minorAm            BB
But for all her wandering ways

She could,


[Chorus] x2

E minorEm
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
BB
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
E minorEm
ooooooooh
