Capo on 2nd fret
               
 
A                               D 
There's a girl in Shelbyville, who gave her life to Jesus/ 
A                               D 
At First Antioch Baptist Church, where her Daddy preaches/ 
Bm7                     D                
She's pretty as her Ma, and only twenty-three/ 
Bm7                       E 
She could be an angel, Lord, she's bringing out the devil in me. 
 
 
D                               A 
Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking/ 
D                               E                       F#m 
Cause it's Saturday night and I'm high and I've been drinkin'/ 
D                       E 
Come tomorrow morning, across the aisle/ 
A                       F#m       D     E           F#m  
I look over and see her smile, I bow my head and the choir sings/ 
D                       E                               A 
Lord, forgive me, she's bringin' out the devil in me. 
 
A                               D 
Sundress on a willow tree, and the moon's on the water/ 
A                                       D 
I know the Lord's been good to me, when I look at that preacher's daughter/ 
Bm7                     D 
She's my Delilah: she brings me to my knees/ 
Bm7                             E 
She could be an angel, Lord, she's bringing out the devil in me.
