NOTES:  I included some riffs just incase you want to add in some fill.  
Using a percussive type finger picking will work best.

Intro Chords

A - E - F#m - Dsus2

A - E - F#m - Dsus2

Verse
A             E                  F#m              Dsus2
I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips
A          E                       F#m             Dsus2                     
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy

RIFF I

But there I sit, 
A          E               RIFF II
Levi's on a dogwood branch
F#m      Dsus2               RIFF I
Yeah, she was taking me under
A                E            RIFF II
I might have lost my innocence
F#m                   Dsus2           RIFF I          
But she was saving my soul that summer

Chorus
A                 E
I don't know much about eternity
             F#m              Dsus2
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
A             E
All I know is that I have already been
F#m               Dsus2                    RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
A                     E
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
F#m              Dsus2
Might be all that I'm getting
A                  E
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Dsus2
Somewhere just south of heaven

INTRO RIFF X2

or A - E - F#m - Dsus2 X2

Vers 2
A                  E
She might have been a falling angel
F#m          Dsus2       RIFF III
Nah, I didn't care at all
A                E
I never thought a prayer could be answered
F#m            Dsus2
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl
A        E
Even now when I close my eyes
F#m                 Dsus2
I see her silhouette dance on the river
A                      E
The way we spent those endless nights
Dsus2
That's the way I could spend forever

Chorus
A                 E
I don't know much about eternity
             F#m              Dsus2
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
A             E
All I know is that I have already been
F#m               Dsus2                    RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
A                     E
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
F#m              Dsus2
Might be all that I'm getting
A                  E
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Dsus2
Somewhere just south of heaven

A - E - F#m - Dsus2 X2

Bridge
A                        E
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Dsus2
Little white church, roll back through the pines
A                          E
Down where the three cross river unwinds
Dsus2                                       D
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine

Chorus
A                 E
I don't know much about eternity
             F#m              Dsus2
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
A             E
All I know is that I have already been
D                  
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
A                     E
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
F#m              Dsus2
Might be all that I'm getting
A                  E
Kissing and sipping that 7 and 7
Dsus2
Somewhere just south of heaven
