[Verse]
Am            Em          G
These crosses all over my body

Am            Em          G
Remind me of who I used to be

Am            Em          G
Give myself up to him in offering

Am            Em          G
Let him make a woman out of me

Am                     Em          G
I'm just a child but I'm not above violence

Am      Em                    G
My mama raised me better than that

Am                             Em              G
When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence

Am                                 Em                 G
And daddy said, "Shoot first, then run and don't look back"
[Chorus]
            Am         Em   G                  Am Em G
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean

              Am                  Em       G
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride

                    Am             Em            G
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
[Solo] Am Em G D [Verse]
Am          Em                   G     D
I've killed before and I'll kill again

Am                          Em             G  D
Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand

Am                       Em               G       D
They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned

Am                             Em                   G     D
And baby, hell don't scare me, I've been times before
[Chorus]

Put me on the back of your white horse to ride

All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
