Em
I had me a girl
B
Who taught me those things
Em
A young man should know
Em
Down, down on my knees
B
I?d beg and I?d plead
Em
To learn a little bit more
Pre-Chorus
Am Em
Oh that woman taught me to pray
Am B
I saw Heaven every day
Lord, she could,
Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh

ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em
ooooooooh
Verse
Em
I had me a boy
B
who buttoned me down
Em
Drew me a line
Em
He, he washed me as clean
B
As a sinner could be
Em
Showed me the light
Am Em
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
Am B
But for all of his spit-shinin? ways
Lord, he could,
Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em
ooooooooh
Instrumental part
Em BEm
(in the original song this part is (almost) a capella, but I'm adding chords anyway for convenience)
Em
I had me a girl
B
Like cigarette smoke
Em
She came and she went
Em
I slipped through his hands
B
To my back door man
Em
Under his chin
Am Em
Oh that woman taught me to pray
Am B
But for all her wandering ways
She could,
Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
Em
ooooooooh
