E A

It was the time of the preacher

E

When the story began

B7

Of the choice of a lady

E

And the love of a man

And how he loved her so dearly

He went out of his mind

When she left him for someone

She'd left behind

Chorus 1:

A

He cried like a baby

D A

He screamed like a panther

E

In the middle of the night

B7

And he saddled his pony

E

And he went for a ride

A

It was the time of the preacher

E

In the year of `01

B7

Now the preaching is over

E

And the lesson's begun

But he could not forgive her

Though he tried and he tried and he tried

And the halls of his memory

Still echo her lies

Chorus 2:

He cried like a baby

He screamed like a panther

In the middle of the night

And he saddled his pony

And he went for a ride

It was the time of the preacher

In the year of `01

Now the lesson is over

And the killing's begun

It was the time of the preacher

In the year of `01

When you think it's all over

It's only begun
