Intro:
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A x2
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A I kissed you cause I've never been an angel Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A I learned to say hosannas on my knees Am D7/F# 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
Even so I try to be a good girl
It's only what I want that makes me weak
I had no desire to be a child of sin
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek
A Fa la la la G Fa la la lee F Now let me go, my honey oh C G Back to Tennessee A It's beef steak when I'm working G Whiskey when I'm dry C G A Sweet heaven when I die
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A Now I've tried drinking rye and gamblin' Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A Dancing with damnation is a ball Am D7/F# But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself Am E Am Well you might be my favorite one of all A Fa la la la G Fa la la lee F Now let me go, my honey oh C G Back to Tennessee A It's beef steak when I'm working G Whiskey when I'm dry C G A Sweet heaven when I die Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A Why can't I go and live the life rightly? Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A Why can't I go back home to apple pie? Am D7/F# Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much Am E Am But you left a little twinkle in my eye A Fa la la la G Fa la la lee F Now let me go, my honey oh C G Back to Tennessee A It's beef steak when I'm working G Whiskey when I'm dry C G A Sweet heaven when I die Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A Now some will come confessing of transgressions Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A Some will come confessing of their love Am D7/F# You were there strumming on your gay guitar Am E Am You were trying to tell me something with your thumb A Fa la la la G Fa la la lee F Now let me go, my honey oh C G Back to Tennessee A It's beef steak when I'm working G Whiskey when I'm dry C G A Sweet heaven when I die A It's beef steak when I'm working G Whiskey when I'm dry C G A Sweet heaven when I die A It's beef steak when I'm working G Whiskey when I'm dry C G A Sweet heaven when I die
