My Cousin Vinny - Bible Belt Chords

Travis Tritt wrote 2 versions of this song, one for the "My  Cousin Vinny" movie.
Some say it was written first.  No matter, to me this is the best lyricaly
as it avoids the illicit affair of the other version. Here is the YouTube link:

[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
E
Well, he was a New York attorney,'Bout to take a Southern journey
Into places that he'd never been.
E
She was a brunette out of Brooklyn, Fast talkin' and good lookin'
       F#                      B7
With a body that was made for sin.
        E
And she wanted him for marriage, 'Cause the torch that she carried
    A
Was hotter than the fires of hell.
       E                               A
But he said he didn't need her, So she followed him down deep into
    B7                  E
The buckle of the Bible Belt.
 
[Verse 2]
E
She begged and she pleaded, And she told him all she needed
Was a little tender lovin' care.
E
But he was wrapped up in his work, And acting like a jerk
       F#                      B7
By pre-tending that she wasn't there.
        E
But her heart was love-stricken, So she never thought of quittin'
   A
Or givin' up on how she felt.
 
        E                           A
She had plans to seduce him, If she could, she would loosen
  B7                 E
A notch in the Bible Belt.
 
[Chorus]
          A
There's a lot of good people who are led astray,
     E
That believe true love is dead.
         A
But I'll tell you somethin', brother
When you're dealin' with your feelings
      F#                   B7
It's tough to keep a level head.
         E
And it's hard to imagine, How the flames of passion
     A
Will burn 'til your soul will melt
          E
And it'll spread like a cancer,
            A
'Til you're gonna have to answer
        B7                  E
To your heart and the Bible Belt
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E
Well, no matter who you are, If you're a peasant or a star
There's a need for love in every man.
E
And he found it pretty soon, Underneath the Southern moon
         F#                      B7
When she finally made him under-stand.
           E
That every man's got his pride, And he'll try to run and hide
     A
From emotions that his heart has felt.
      E                              A
So he gave her love a chance, That's when he found romance
       B7                 E
In the heart of the Bible Belt.
 
[Chorus]
          A
There's a lot of good people who are led astray
     E
That believe true love is dead.
         A
But I'll tell you somethin', brother
When you're dealin' with your feelings
     F#                     B7
It's tough to keep a level head.
         E
And it's hard to imagine, How the flames of passion
     A
Will burn 'til your soul will melt
          E
And it'll spread like a cancer
           A
But you're gonna have to answer
        B7                  E
To your heart and the Bible Belt
 
[Tag]
             A
They better get their heads together
Or they're gonna slap leather
           B7                   E
With their hearts and the Bible Belt
 
N.C.
Amen, brother..
