She was a
C
level-headed dancer on the
F
road to alcohol
And
G
I was just a soldier on my
C
way to Montreal
Well she
C
pressed her chest against me about the
F
time the juke box broke
She
G
gave me a peck on the back of the neck and these are the words she
C
spoke
Chorus
C
Blow up your T.V.
F
C
throw away your paper
F
C
Go into the
G
country, build you a
C
home
F
C
C
Plant a little garden,
F
C
eat a lot of peaches
F
C
Try to find
G
Jesus on your
C
own
Well, I sat
C
there at the table and I
F

For I
G
knew that topless lady had
C
something up her sleeve
Well, she
C
danced around the bar room and she
F
did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she
G
sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to
C
do
Chorus
Well, I was
C
young and hungry and ab
F
out to leave that place
But
G
just as I was leavin', well she
C
looked me in the face
I said "
C
You must know the answer." She said, "
F
No but I'll give it a try."
And
G
to this very day we've been livin' our way and here is the reason
C
why
Chorus
C
We blow up our T.V.
F
C
threw away our paper
F
C
Went to the
G
country, build us a
C
home
F
C
C
Had a lot of children,
F
C
fed 'em on peaches
F
C
They all found
G
Jesus on their
C
own
