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