I Had Me A Girl chords by The Civil Wars

Guitar chords with lyrics

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
