G...C...G

G...D...G

G

she was born outside of Memphis

.....C...............G

just north of Tupelo

.........................................D

oh Lord she's a Mississippi queen

G

and just like that big river

.......C........................G

oh Lord she'll pull you under

..............................D.........G

she fights fire with gasoline

well first time that I saw her

down at the Whitewater

dancing across those ancient hardwood floors

and you could tell she had a history

with the cigarettes and whiskey

and the boys that had a way with words

........C......D....G

but I want to make

.......C.......D.....G

that glorious mistake

G...........................................C...........G

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

.........................D........G

and the bite of a rattlesnake

just like my first occurrence

with straight Kentucky bourbon

oh Lord she took my breath away

and when she called me darling

I started caterwhomping

oh I had nothing else to say

but I want to make

that glorious mistake

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

and the bite of a rattlesnake

and when she gets me all alone

she strikes the fear of Jesus

she sends that fear coursing through my blood

and when we hit the bedroom

it's always fire and brimstone

yes I have been washed in the flood

but I want to make

that glorious mistake

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

and the bite of a rattlesnake

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

and the bite of a rattlesnake
