There's a girl i[A]n Shelbyville, who gave her life[D] to Jesus/
[A]At First Antioch Baptist Church,[D] where her Daddy preaches/
[Bm7]She's pretty as her Ma, [D]and only twenty-three/
[Bm7]She could be an angel, Lor[E]d, she's bringing out the devil in me.
(Chorus:)
[D]Lord, forgive me for what I'm th[A]inking/
[D]Cause it's Saturday night and I'[E]m high and I've been dri[F#m]nkin'/
[D]Come tomorrow morning, a[E]cross the aisle/
[A]I look over and see her [F#m]smile, I b[D]ow my [E]head and the[F#m] choir sings/
[D]Lord, forgive me, she's [E]bringin' out the devil in me.[A]
[A]Sundress on a willow tree, and t[D]he moon's on the water/
[A]I know the Lord's been good to me, when [D]I look at that preacher's daughter/
[Bm7]She's my Delilah: she br[D]ings me to my knees/
[Bm7]She could be an angel, Lord, she[E]'s bringing out the devil in me.
(Chorus (don't end on A but go to instrumental))
(Instrumental: Bm7 A/C# E/G# D, Bm7 A/C# E/G# D Eadd4)
