Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
She was a level-headed dancer
D
On the road to alcohol
E7
And I was just a soldier
A
On the way to Montreal
A
She pressed her chest against me
D
About the time the jukebox broke
E7
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
E7
And these are the words she spoke
[Chorus]
N.C. A
Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
E7 A
Go to the country, build you a home
A
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
E7 A
Try and find Jesus on your own
[Verse 2]
A
Well, I sat there at the table
D
And I acted real naive
E7
For I knew that topless lady
A
Had something up her sleeve
A
Well, she danced around the bar room
D7
And she did the hoochy-coo
E7
Yeah she sang her song all night long
N.C. A
Telling me what to do
[Chorus]
A
Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
E7 A
Go to the country, build you a home
A
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
E7 A
Try and find Jesus on your own
[Guitar Solo]
A D E7 A
D E7 A
[Verse 3]
A
Well, I was young and hungry
D
And about to leave that place
E7
When just as I was leaving
A
Well she looked me in the face
A
I said, "You must know the answer"
D
She said, "No but I'll give it a try"
E7
And to this very day we've been living our way
N.C. A
Here is the reason why
[Out-Chorus]
A
We blew up our TV, threw away our paper
E7 A
Went to the country, built us a home
A
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
E7 A
They all found Jesus on their own
