Blue Jeans and a Rosary
(R.J. Ritchie, M. Young) © 2007 RJR Publishing / Jo Ray Dean Music (BMI)
(Verse 1)
All my life I've been searchin', all my life I've been uncertain
I been abandoned and left alone, at fifteen I had to leave home
The black sheep, the bad seed, at a roadside bar in Tennessee
I met an angel who rescued me, she rescued me...
(Chorus)
She wore blue jeans and a rosary, believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve, don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good, she's happy with a bad seed, happy to be misunderstood.
(Verse 2)
Two packs and a pint a day, to hide the shame, and wash away the pain
( bass)
Aww the pain
Every road was a dead-end street, runnin' from the law, and runnin' on empty
You couldn't shake the marks that were left on me, At a roadside bar in Tennessee
I met an angel who rescued me, she rescued me...
(Chorus)
She wore blue jeans and a rosary, believed in God and believed in me
All her friends think she's a little crazy
She wears a smile, heart on her sleeve, don't give a damn what the world thinks of me
She tells me it's all good, she's happy with a bad seed, happy to be misunderstood.
There are hammerons and pulloffs at the beginning of each verse that serve to separate
C chords into to different bars and give the song a sense of rhythm:
