Em Em B Em x2
[Verse]
[Em]I had me a girl
Who taught me those [B]things
A young man should [Em]know
[Em]Down, down on my knees
I'd beg and I'd plea[B]d
To learn a little bit [Em]more
[PreCborus]
[Am]Oh that woman taught me to [Em]pray
[Am]I saw Heaven every d[B]ay
Lord, she could,

[Em]I had me a boy
who buttoned me [B]down
Drew me a l[Em]ine
[Em]He, he washed me as clean
As a sinner could [B]be
Showed me the [Em]light
[Am]Oh that boy, he taught me to [Em]pray
[Am]But for all of his spit-shinin' [B]ways
Lord, he could,
[Cborus]

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
[B]ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

(in the original song this part is (almost) a capella, but I'm adding chords anyway for convenience)
[Em]I had me a girl
Like cigarette s[B]moke
She came and she [Em]went
[Em]I slipped through his hands
To my back door [B]man
[Em]Under his chin
[Am]Oh that woman taught me to [Em]pray
[Am]But for all her wandering [B]ways
She could,
