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