Intro: Am   D6/9/A    B11/A  D6/9/A     (2x) 


   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
