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

Now let me go, my honey oh

Back to Tennessee
C
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
F             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

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

    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
