Intro Chords
I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy
RIFF I
But there I sit,
A E RIFF II
Levi's on a dogwood branch
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
Yeah, she was taking me under
A E RIFF II
I might have lost my innocence
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
But she was saving my soul that summer
I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Somewhere just south of heaven
INTRO RIFF X2
or A - E - F#m - Dsus2 X2
Vers 2
She might have been a falling angel
F#m Dsus2 RIFF III
Nah, I didn't care at all
I never thought a prayer could be answered
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl
Even now when I close my eyes
I see her silhouette dance on the river
The way we spent those endless nights
That's the way I could spend forever
I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Somewhere just south of heaven
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, roll back through the pines
Down where the three cross river unwinds
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine
I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Somewhere just south of heaven
INTRO RIFF or
Oh yeah, just south of heaven
INTRO RIFF or
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, roll back through the pines
Down where the three cross river unwinds
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine
yeah, that's be mine
Oh, just a little bit south of heaven
INTRO RIFF or
