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