A Feather In Her Halo

Tom: Em

Em B Em B

[Verse]
B                   Em
    I swear she has wings
                      B
Tucked underneath her long white satin dress
D
Wrapped around her body

Good God almighty
        A
Got the sinner scared half to death
                  Em
A little piece of heaven
            B
Floating around in a pair of high heels
         D
Lord give me a chance

We can say can't
A
Make ourselves a deal

[Chorus]
A
I want to be
G
More than a one night stand
D
Nothing less than the rest of her life man
C
You've got my word

I'll go to church
G                       D
And walk a straight and narrow road
G
I'll read the book

I'll watch my mouth
D
Lay all my bad habits I picked up down
C                               B
Lord have mercy on my lonely so---ul
             C           D                    
I want to be more than a feather in her halo

Em   B

[Verse]
B                     Em
      You love me and leave me
                   B
Kind woman was all I ever wanted before
D
Never thought twice 

About what happens
                 Am
Behind them ol' hotel motel doors
               Em
She can be the river
                 B
That baptised me from a troubled past
D
And turn this leaf I've been living under over
A                             Em
Get the devil the hell off my back

[Chorus]
A
I want to be
G
More than a one night stand
D
Nothing less than the rest of her life man
C
You've got my word

I'll go to church
G                       D
And walk a straight and narrow road
G
I'll read the book

I'll watch my mouth
D
Lay all my bad habits I picked up down
C                               B
Lord have mercy on my lonely so---ul
             C                   D            
I want to be more than just a feather in her halo

Em

[Bridge]
A
It ain't like me
G                      C
To hit my knees and pr---ay
                 D
Lord what do you say

[Chorus]
A
I want to be
G
More than a one night stand
D
Nothing less than the rest of her life man
C
You've got my word

I'll go to church
G                       D
And walk a straight and narrow road
G
I'll read the book

I'll watch my mouth
D
Lay all my bad habits I picked up down
C                               B
Lord have mercy on my lonely so---ul
             C                D
I want to be more than just a feather in her halo

[Outro]
Em      B                   Em
        Feather in her halo
