[Verse]

Em Em
I had me a girl
B B
Who taught me those things
Em Em
A A young man should know

Em Em
Down, down on my knees
B B
I’d beg and I’d plead
Em Em
To learn a little bit more


[PreChorus]

A A Em Em
Oh that woman taught me to pray
A A B B
I saw Heaven every day

Lord, she could,


[Chorus]

Em Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em Em
ooooooooh


[Verse]

Em Em
I had me a boy
B B
who buttoned me down
Em Em
Drew me a line

Em Em
He, he washed me as clean
B B
As a sinner could be
Em Em
Showed me the light

A A Em Em
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
A A B B
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways

Lord, he could,


[Chorus]

Em Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em Em
ooooooooh

G G G/F# G/F# Em Em x3
G G A A B B

Em Em B B Em Em x2

(in the original song this part is (almost) a capella, but I'm adding chords anyway for convenience)

Em Em
I had me a girl
B B
Like cigarette smoke
Em Em
She came and she went
Em Em
I slipped through his hands
B B
To my back door man
Em Em
Under his chin

A A Em Em
Oh that woman taught me to pray
A A B B
But for all her wandering ways

She could,


[Chorus] x2

Em Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em Em
ooooooooh

B B Em Em
