Intro:
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A x2
I k[Am]issed you cause I've never b[D6/9/A]een an angel[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
I l[Am]earned to say hosanna[D6/9/A]s on my knees[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
But they threw[Am] me out of Sunday school when I was nine[D7/F#]
And the sister[Am]s said I did just[E] as I pleased[Am]
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]Back to Tennessee[G]
[A]It's beef steak when I'm working
[G]Whiskey when I'm dry
[C]Sweet heaven when I [G]die[A]
[Am] [D6/9/A] [B11/A] [D6/9/A]
Now I've[Am] tried drin[D6/9/A]king rye and gamblin'[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
[Am]Dancing with damnat[D6/9/A]ion is a ball[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
But of all[Am] the little ways I've found to hurt m[D7/F#]yself
Well you[Am] might be my favorite on[E]e of all[Am]
[A]Fa la la la
[G]Fa la la lee
[F]Now let me go, my honey oh
[C]Back to Tennessee[G]
[A]It's beef steak when I'm working
[G]Whiskey when I'm dry
[C]Sweet heaven when I [G]die[A]
Why can'[Am]t I go and live[D6/9/A] the life right[B11/A]ly?[D6/9/A]
Why can't[Am] I go back home to[D6/9/A] apple pie?[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
Cause your affront to[Am] my virtue was a touch too much[D7/F#]
But you left a[Am] little twink[E]le in my eye[Am]
[A]Fa la la la
[G]Fa la la lee
[F]Now let me go, my honey oh
[C]Back to Tennessee[G]
[A]It's beef steak when I'm working
[G]Whiskey when I'm dry
[C]Sweet heaven when I [G]die[A]
Now some [Am]will come confessing o[D6/9/A]f transgressions[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
[Am]Some will come confessin[D6/9/A]g of their love[B11/A] [D6/9/A]
[Am]You were there strumming on your gay guitar[D7/F#]
You were trying t[Am]o tell me something wit[E]h your thumb[Am]
[A]Fa la la la
[G]Fa la la lee
[F]Now let me go, my honey oh
[C]Back to Tennessee[G]
[A]It's beef steak when I'm working
[G]Whiskey when I'm dry
[C]Sweet heaven when I [G]die[A]
[A]It's beef steak when I'm working
[G]Whiskey when I'm dry
[C]Sweet heaven when I [G]die[A]
[A]It's beef steak when I'm working
[G]Whiskey when I'm dry
[C]Sweet heaven when I [G]die[A]
End on A
