Intro: (G) (D) (Em) (C) x 2
G
Just a girl born in Dixie
D
Washed in the blood
Em
And raised on the banks
D
Of the Mississippi mud
C
She always had a thing
G D
About fallin' in love with a bad boy
G
Yea, they could see it all comin'
D
But her daddy never dreamed
Em
She'd grow up that fast
D
You know what I mean
C G
The way a girl gets when she turns 17
D
Kinda crazy
**Chorus**
G
She's a rebel child
D
And a preacher's daughter
Em C
She was baptized in dirty water
G D
Her mama cried the first time
Em
They caught her with me
C D
They knew they couldn't stop her
G D
She holds tight to me and the Bible
Em C
On the back seat of my motorcycle
G
Left her daddy standin' there
D Em C G D
Preachin' to the choir you see...God love her
Em C
Oh me and God love her
G
She kissed her mama goodbye
D
Said I'll be sure 'n phone ya
Em
She called from a truck stop
D
In Tucson Arizona
C
With amazing grace
G D
We made California line
G
And then my gypsy life
D
Started takin' it's toll
C
And the fast lane got empty
Em
and out of control
G
And just like an angel
D
She saved my soul from the devil
**Repeat Chorus then solo**
G D
Now she holds tight to me and the Bible
Em C
On the back seat of my motorcycle
G
Left her daddy standin' there
D Em C G D
Preachin' to the choir you see...God love her
Em C
Oh me and God love her
