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