Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
way  down
  in virginia
amungst  the tall
 growed sugar cane
lived  a simple man, a bottle  of Gin and that rose  of a different name
 repeat same chord pattern
 hey the first time i felt lightin
 i was standin in a drizzlin rain
 with a tremblin hand, a bottle of gin and that rose of a different name
 Chorous:
the  devil made me do it the first  time
the  second time i dun it on my  own
Hey  lord put a handle on a simple  headed man Help me leave  that Black Rose
alone
 here is the main instrumental, it sounds a whould lot better i you have anotherperson
 a guitar playing E A B E over and over in rythem

 same cord pattern
 when the devil made that woman
 hey he threw the pattern away
 cause she were built for speed with the tools ya need to make a new fool every day
 hey way down deep and dirty
 on the darkest side of shame
 you will find this chain cuttin man doin it again whith that rose of a different name
 repeat chouous twice until end and between chourses you may want to do the instrumental
 octave higher or the same as before or you can choose to do it with out the
 either way it sounds awesome
