[Refrão]
        A 
I let a preacher 
        D 
I let a preacher 
        A                     E 
I let a preacher talk to me tonight 
        A 
I let a preacher 
        D  
I let a preacher 
        A        E            A   
I let a preacher talk to me tonight 

            A 
Put away my weapon 
            D 
Put away my whiskey 
         A                          E         
Put away everything unworthy in His sight 
              A 
Picked up the Bible 
                 D 
Shrugged off its rival 
        A        E          A 
I let a preacher talk to me tonight 

        A 
Well my girlfriend 
                D 
Didn't like the whirlwind 
       A                            E  
Of his words that quivered in their might 
         A 
He spoke directly 
             D 
Sometimes correctly 
        A        E            A 
I let a preacher talk to me tonight 

Chorus 

          A 
I got the stare-down 
           D 
He tore my fair down 
         A                                  E 
He said "sinner, when are you gonna see the light?" 
        A  
Felt adolescent 
          D 
Under fluorescent lights 
        A        E            A 
I let a preacher talk to me tonight 

Chorus 

            A 
Got with my cousins 
         D 
Nearly a dozen 
            A                          E 
Of them big boys just scratchin' for a fight 
           A 
Well we confused it 
          D 
Then we renewed it 
        A        E            A 
I let a preacher talk to me tonight 

Chorus
