Intro
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A (x2)
I kissed you cause I've never been an angel
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
But they Am threw me out of Sunday school
When I was Am6 nine
And the Am sisters said I E did just as I Am pleased
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
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
Chorus
A Fa la la la, G Fa la la lee
Now F let me go, my honey oh
C Back to TennesGsee
It's C beef steak when I'm working
G Whiskey when I'm dry
F Sweet heaven G when I A die
Intro
Now I've tried drinking rye and gamblin'
Dancing with damnation is a ball
But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself
Well you might be my favorite one of all
Chorus
Why can't I go and live the life of Reilly
Why can't I go back home to apple pie?
'Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
But you left a little twinkle in my eye
Chorus then intro chords (x2)
Now some will come confessing of transgressions
Some will come confessing of their love
You were there strumming on your gay guitar
You were trying to tell me something with your thumb
Chorus
It's C beef steak when I'm working
G Whiskey when I'm dry
F Sweet heaven G when I A die
It's C beef steak when I'm working
G Whiskey when I'm dry
F Sweet heaven G when I A die
