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