For a loaf of bread, and a Pepsi Cola too.



Verse 2:

Well she got in, and she rolled down the window

I said man turn it up! I love that country tune.

She was wearin' the finest, rabbit skin halter

I was overcome, by the smell of her perfume.

         G (320003@1)                       DThen (xx0232@1)the preacher, posed the final question
       A (x02220@1)  N/C                         Dsus->(D    G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)  D)* x4
Then I heard, those church bells ring.

Verse 3:

Well she was young, and so kind-hearted

That she wrecked my world, and she left me with the blues.

She called me sugar, and I knew that when we parted

I knew just what I was gonna do.
