Am7   D6   C7   Asus4
Am7   D6   C7   Asus4

  Am7                   D6            C7           Asus4
I kissed you cause I've never been an angel
  Am7              D6           C7           Asus4
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
         Am7             D6                 C7    Asus4
But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine
        Am             E             Am
And the sisters said I did just as I pleased

D6   C7   Asus4

    Am7   D6          C7           Asus4
Even so I try to be a good girl
     Am7         D6                 C7       Asus4
It's only what I want that makes me weak
  Am7    D6             C7       Asus4
I had no desire to be a child of sin
         Am                    E              Am
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek

    F
Now let me go, my honey, oh
C       G
Back to Tennessee
     C
It's beefsteak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
F            G      A
Sweet heaven when I die


Am7   D6   C7   Asus4
Am7   D6   C7   Asus4


      Am7            D6      C7        Asus4
Now I tried drinking rye and gamblin'
Am7          D6             C7         Asus4
Dancing with damnation is a ball
       Am7            D6               C7     Asus4
But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself
     Am              E               Am
Well you might be my favorite one of all

    Am7            D6               C7          Asus4
Why can't I go and live the life of Riley?
    Am7             D6            C7        Asus4
Why can't I go back home to apple pie?
           Am7           D6           C7        Asus4
Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
        Am            E             Am
But you left a little twinkle in my eye

    Am7            D6            C7             Asus4
Now some will come confessing of transgressions
Am7            D6                   C7          Asus4
Some will come confessing of their love
Am7            D6                C7   Asus4
You were there strumming on your gay guitar
         Am7        E                           Am
You were trying to tell me something with your thumb
