Blue Jeans and a Rosary
(R.J. Ritchie, M. Young) © 2007 RJR Publishing / Jo Ray Dean Music (BMI)
(Verse 1)
C C
All my life I've been searchin', all my life I've been uncertain
F F
I been abandoned and left alone, at fifteen I had to leave home
C G
The black sheep, the bad seed, at a roadside bar in Tennessee
F C G
I met an angel who rescued me, she rescued me...
(Chorus)
F F
She wore blue jeans and a rosary, believed in God and believed in me
C
All her friends think she's a little crazy
F F C
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve, don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
G F C
She tells me it's all good, she's happy with a bad seed, happy to be misunderstood.
(Verse 2)
C
Two packs and a pint a day, to hide the shame, and wash away the pain
C(A bass)
Aww the pain
F
Every road was a dead-end street, runnin' from the law, and runnin' on empty
C G
You couldn't shake the marks that were left on me, At a roadside bar in Tennessee
F C G
I met an angel who rescued me, she rescued me...
(Chorus)
F F
She wore blue jeans and a rosary, believed in God and believed in me
C
All her friends think she's a little crazy
F F C
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve, don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
G F C
She tells me it's all good, she's happy with a bad seed, happy to be misunderstood.
There are hammerons and pulloffs at the beginning of each verse that serve to separate
C chords into to different bars and give the song a sense of rhythm:

THX. This is so simple... (call me crazy) but try tuning to drop C (CGCFAD)... UseD-G-A for the song. Use standard D (000232) & hammer on with pinky (where appropriate)on F string (4th string) on 4th fret. For G, use formation (550003) and the A is the standard (002220). So D is your C, G is your F and A is your G. The dropped C really helps with the texture of the song! Seriously, try it and thanks for the chords!
Peace
