Capo 3 

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
