[Chorus]
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]
