INTRO: A D A D

The last time I saw Jessie the moon was a-hangin’ low
And she was standin’ on the front porch with her hair tied in a bow
The sweetest sound I’ve ever heard[D-G] is Jessie when she talks
I’m gonna pack my bag and hit the drag even if I have to walk

The last time I saw Jessie the moon was a-shinin’ hot
And she was standin’ in her house shoes with her hair tied in a knot
The sweetest thing I’ve ever known[G-D] is Jessie’s southern drawl
I’m gonna grab my gear, get on out of here, even if I have to crawl

CHORUS:
I’m goin’ soul searchin, a-lookin’ for the love I knew
Soul searchin, I don’t care what I have to do
I’m gonna take my knocks and let it rock[G-D-G]
I’m gonna pay my toll and let it roll
I’m goin’ soul searchin

BREAK: Bm A Bm A

The sweetest thing I’ve ever known[D-G] is Jessie holdin’ me
I’m gonna pack my sack and get on back to where I wanna be

CHORUS:
I’m goin’ soul searchin, lookin’ for the love I lost
Soul searchin, I don’t care how much it costs
I’m gonna take my knocks and let it rock[G-D-G]
I’m gonna pay my toll and let it roll
I’m goin’ soul searchin
I’m goin’ soul searchin’

OUTRO: A D
