Time Of The Preacher
Written and recorded by Willie Nelson
[3/4 time]
C F C
It was a time of the preacher when the story began
G7 C
Of the choice of a lady and the love of a man
F C
How he loved her so dearly he went out of his mind
G7 C
When she left him for someone that she'd left behind
F
And he cried like a baby
C
And he screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
G7 C
And he saddled his pony and he went for a ride
F C
It was a time of the preacher in the year of O one
G7 C
Now the preaching is over and the lesson's begun
