I Had Me a Girl by The Civil Wars Guitar Chords


Em Em B Em x2

I had me a girl
Who taught me those things
A young man should know

Down, down on my knees
I’d beg and I’d plead
To learn a little bit more

[PreChorus]

Oh that woman taught me to pray
I saw Heaven every day

Lord, she could,

Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh

I had me a boy
who buttoned me down
Drew me a line

He, he washed me as clean
As a sinner could be
Showed me the light

Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways

Lord, he could,

Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh

[Instrumental part]

G G/F# Em x3

Em B Em x2

(in the original song this part is (almost) a capella, but I’m adding chords anyway for convenience)

I had me a girl
Like cigarette smoke
She came and she went
I slipped through his hands
To my back door man
Under his chin

Oh that woman taught me to pray
But for all her wandering ways

She could,

x2

Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooooooooh
