Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A x2
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
I kissed you cause I've never been an angel
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
Am D7/F#
But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine
Am E Am
And the sisters said I did just as I pleased
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 G
Back to Tennessee
A
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
C G A
Sweet heaven when I die
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Now I've tried drinking rye and gamblin'
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Dancing with damnation is a ball
Am D7/F#
But of all the little ways I've found to hurt myself
Am E Am
Well you might be my favorite one of all
A
Fa la la la
G
Fa la la lee
F
Now let me go, my honey oh
C G
Back to Tennessee
A
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
C G A
Sweet heaven when I die
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Why can't I go and live the life rightly?
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Why can't I go back home to apple pie?
Am D7/F#
Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
Am E Am
But you left a little twinkle in my eye
A
Fa la la la
G
Fa la la lee
F
Now let me go, my honey oh
C G
Back to Tennessee
A
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
C G A
Sweet heaven when I die
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Now some will come confessing of transgressions
Am D6/9/A B11/A D6/9/A
Some will come confessing of their love
Am D7/F#
You were there strumming on your gay guitar
Am E Am
You were trying to tell me something with your thumb
A
Fa la la la
G
Fa la la lee
F
Now let me go, my honey oh
C G
Back to Tennessee
A
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
C G A
Sweet heaven when I die
A
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
C G A
Sweet heaven when I die
A
It's beef steak when I'm working
G
Whiskey when I'm dry
C G A
Sweet heaven when I die
End on A

Nice - slightly different from how I figured it out, and I think you may be right on the B11/A (it sounds really nice compared to the C that I was playing). However I very much think that it is C on "beef steak" and not A. And also:
F G A
Sweet heaven when I die
Cheers!
Alden
I think the chords are close enough, maybe not 100% accurate, but I'm able to work out the song. Lovely song! Oh, and hi Alden! Kelsey
I forgot to log in when I submitted this, but YES! to AldenGriffith, I suppose I also forgot to double check my chords, cause that's exactly how I /play/ it, I just transcribed incorrectly.
Sorry! Glad it could help regardless.
