Intro Chords 

A - E - F#m - Dsus2 

A - E - F#m - Dsus2 

Verse 
A             E                  F#m              Dsus2 
I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips 
A          E                       F#m             Dsus2                      
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy 

RIFF I 

But there I sit,  
A          E               RIFF II 
Levi's on a dogwood branch 
F#m      Dsus2               RIFF I 
Yeah, she was taking me under 
A                E            RIFF II 
I might have lost my innocence 
F#m                   Dsus2           RIFF I           
But she was saving my soul that summer 

Chorus 
A                 E 
I don't know much about eternity 
             F#m              Dsus2 
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going 
A             E 
All I know is that I have already been 
F#m               Dsus2                    RIFF I 
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling 
A                     E 
And that summer night, shooting star paradise 
F#m              Dsus2 
Might be all that I'm getting 
A                  E 
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7 
Dsus2 
Somewhere just south of heaven 

INTRO RIFF X2 

or A - E - F#m - Dsus2 X2 

Vers 2 
A                  E 
She might have been a falling angel 
F#m          Dsus2       RIFF III 
Nah, I didn't care at all 
A                E 
I never thought a prayer could be answered 
F#m            Dsus2 
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl 
A        E 
Even now when I close my eyes 
F#m                 Dsus2 
I see her silhouette dance on the river 
A                      E 
The way we spent those endless nights 
Dsus2 
That's the way I could spend forever 

Chorus 
A                 E 
I don't know much about eternity 
             F#m              Dsus2 
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going 
A             E 
All I know is that I have already been 
F#m               Dsus2                    RIFF I 
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling 
A                     E 
And that summer night, shooting star paradise 
F#m              Dsus2 
Might be all that I'm getting 
A                  E 
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7 
Dsus2 
Somewhere just south of heaven 

A - E - F#m - Dsus2 X2 

Bridge 
A                        E 
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line 
Dsus2 
Little white church, roll back through the pines 
A                          E 
Down where the three cross river unwinds 
Dsus2                                       D 
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine 

Chorus 
A                 E 
I don't know much about eternity 
             F#m              Dsus2 
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going 
A             E 
All I know is that I have already been 
D                   
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling 
A                     E 
And that summer night, shooting star paradise 
F#m              Dsus2 
Might be all that I'm getting 
A                  E 
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7 
Dsus2 
Somewhere just south of heaven
