[Chorus]
B
I let a preacher
E
I let a preacher
B F#
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
B
I let a preacher
E
I let a preacher
B F# B
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
B
Put away my weapon
E
Put away my whiskey
B F#
Put away everything unworthy in His sight
B
Picked up the Bible
E
Shrugged off its rival
B F# B
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
B
Well my girlfriend
E
Didn't like the whirlwind
B F#
Of his words that quivered in their might
B
He spoke directly
E
Sometimes correctly
B F# B
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
[Chorus]
B
I got the stare-down
E
He tore my fair down
B F#
He said "sinner, when are you gonna see the light?"
B
Felt adolescent
E
Under fluorescent lights
B F# B
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
[Chorus]
B
Got with my cousins
E
Nearly a dozen
B F#
Of them big boys just scratchin' for a fight
B
Well we confused it
E
Then we renewed it
B F# B
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
[Chorus]
