I Had Me A Girl Tab par The Civil Wars

[Verse]

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

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


[PreChorus]

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

Lord, she could,


[Chorus]

Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
                    
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B                       
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh 
Em
ooooooooh


[Verse]

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

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

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

Lord, he could, 


[Chorus]

Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
                    
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B                       
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh 
Em
ooooooooh


[Instrumental part]

G  G/F#   Em    x3
G  A     B 

Em        B Em x2

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

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

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

She could,


[Chorus] x2

Em
Ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
                    
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh
B                       
ooooooooh oooh oooh ooh 
Em
ooooooooh

B Em
