[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]
