Affairs Of Honor Chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whether or not Andrew Jackson’s knew his soon- to- be- wife Rachel was married when they first met is the subject of much academic debate. Either way, the two fell in love immediately and eloped down the Natchez Trace. Rachel’s allegedly abusive first husband soon protested from Kentucky. A second, legal marriage was held for Rachel and Andrew in Nashville once a legal divorce was verified. The issue lay dormant
until Andrew’s second bid for the presidency. His op[C]ponent found out about the double marriage, and used it to attack the populist candidate. Rachel was so distraught at [G]the thought of costing her husband the presidency that she fell violently ill, [D]dying of a heart attack in the [G]weeks following his victory. Andrew went t[C]o the White House a widower, convinced his political enemies killed the love of his life.

[Verse 2]
You say [G]don’t leave but you leave me
for the streets of New Orleans

[Verse 4]
[D]
[C]The[G] thi[D]ngs you sa[G]id at Horseshoe Bend[D]
I guess I [G]knew how this would [D]end
I would [G]sell my soul [D]to bring you [C]around
for a [G]love in the border[D]lands
you can [G]throw it [D]in God’s hands
or [G]turn around and [D]walk the [C]other way
I [G]know the

[Verse 5]
[D]road always [G]shows
[C]the heart[G]break in [D]your

in the [C]light[G]

And the blood rushes [G]from a [D]stranger
