Verse
AEF#mDsus2
I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips
AEF#mDsus2
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy
RIFF I
But there I sit,
AE RIFF II
Levi's on a dogwood branch
F#mDsus2 RIFF I
Yeah, she was taking me under
AE RIFF II
I might have lost my innocence
F#mDsus2 RIFF I
But she was saving my soul that summer
ChorusAE
I don't know much about eternity
F#mDsus2
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
AE
All I know is that I have already been
F#mDsus2 RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
AE
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
F#mDsus2
Might be all that I'm getting
AE
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Dsus2
Somewhere just south of heaven

Vers 2
AE
She might have been a falling angel
F#mDsus2 RIFF III
Nah, I didn't care at all
AE
I never thought a prayer could be answered
F#mDsus2
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl
AE
Even now when I close my eyes
F#mDsus2
I see her silhouette dance on the river
AE
The way we spent those endless nights
Dsus2
That's the way I could spend forever
ChorusAE
I don't know much about eternity
F#mDsus2
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
AE
All I know is that I have already been
F#mDsus2 RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling

And that summer night, shooting star paradise
F#mDsus2
Might be all that I'm getting

Somewhere just south of heaven
A - E - F#m - Dsus2 X2
Bridge
AE
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Dsus2
Little white church, roll back through the pines
AE
Down where the three cross river unwinds
Dsus2D
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine
ChorusAE
I don't know much about eternity
F#mDsus2
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
AE
All I know is that I have already been
