Charlie Robison - The Preacher guitar chord

Charlie Robison

The Preacher

Keyboard intro

Bm G D

Well I threw myself a party

Bm G D

Well, it was just the other day

Bm G D

Well my wife wasn't there but my old buddies were

Bm G D

'Cause somebody was goin' away

Bm G D

Well I've lived in this town for a lifetime

Bm G D

And I've sinned from beginning to Z

Bm G D

And the preacher at our congregation

Bm G D

He knew just how to get into me

Well he'd stand there so high on his pulpit

And I knew when he talked of my soul

But that preacher he died there

With all of my lies

Chorus:

D G D

And my sins went with him when they put him in the hole

D G D

My sins went with him when they put him in the hole

D G Bm

Well bIess my heart let the good times roll

D G D

My sins went with him when they put him in the hole

Well he drove a Ford Fiesta

What the hell kinda car is that

Well he'd drive around here tryin' to flush out a queer

Or the man that ran over his cat

But his heart couldn't take all the pressure

Tryin' to find what I already know

And my face has gone pious to cheshire

Chorus

Instrumental

Well the new preacher he is a young man

And he don't speak as much from the book

And my wife doesn't like that about him

But he makes up for that with his looks

So she stares up at him every Sunday

And in her eyes I can see all the lust

But I guess that I can't be complaining

'Cause it was me that has broken our trust

So I hope she lives long or gets lucky

And he passes before she gets old

Then she won't have to worry 'bout nothin'

Chorus 2:

'Cause her sins will go with him when they put him in a hole

Her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole

Well bless her heart; let fhe good times roll

'Cause her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole

Well bless our hearts; let the good times roll

'Cause our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole

Our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
