G                    D/F#
Just a girl born in Dixie, washed in the blood
      Em                          C
And raised on the banks of the Mississippi mud
      G                        D/F#                 C         D/F#
She always had a thing about fallin' in love with a bad boy

                  G                         D/F#
Yeah, they could see it all comin' but her daddy never dreamed
       Em                     C
She'd grow up that fast, you know what I mean
     G                        D/F#                   C      D/F#
The way a girl gets when she turns seventeen, kinda crazy

          G                 D/F#
She's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter
         Em           C
She was baptized in dirty water
 G                  D/F#                         Em
Her mama cried the first time they caught her with me
      C                  D/F#
They knew they couldn't stop her

G                D/F#
She holds tight, me and the Bible
       Em               C
On the back seat of my motorcycle
G                              D/F#                       Em    C
Left her daddy standin' there preachin' to the choir, you see

God love her
Oh, me and God love her!

                G                  D/F#
She kissed her mama goodbye, said I'll be sure 'n phone ya
     Em                              C
She called her from a truck stop in Tucson Arizona
      G             D/F#                C     D/F#
With Amazing Grace, we made California line

         G                      D/F#
And then my gypsy life started takin' its toll
         Em                      Cm
And the fast lane got empty and out of control
     C                  G                        D/F#
And just like an angel she saved my soul from the devil

Yeah,      G                 D/F#
She's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter
         Em           C
She was baptized in dirty water
 G                  D/F#                         Em
Her mama cried the first time they caught her with me
      C                  D/F#
They knew they couldn't stop her

G                D/F#
She holds tight, me and the Bible
       Em               C
On the back seat of my motorcycle
G                              D/F#                       Em    C
Left her daddy standin' there preachin' to the choir, you see

( G  D/F#  Em  C ) (2x)

D/F#     G             D/F#
Now she holds tight to me and the Bible
        Em              C
On the back seat of my motorcycle
G                              D/F#                        Em   C
Left her daddy standin' there preachin' to the choir, you see

God love her
Oh, me and God love her!
