The Preacher Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]

[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The cold wind blew,
the preacher grieved
He [G]said "they're comin' after me
I [D]ain't exactly what I seem [Em]to be"

[Verse 2]
[Em]He pulled his pistol from his side
[G]Pointed it at me and cried
[D]And then he laid a bullet
deep in my [Em]chest
He stood still revealin' the story
[G]That I knew was true before
[D]And now because of it
I lay dy[Em]ing
He claimed to run with Jesse James
[G]William Bonnie, and they all the same
"I [D]ain't no preacher man,
I was born of fire"
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[A]Hey, can't you hear that
train coming [Em]now?[A]
Rollin' fast down the tracks,
to hell they're [Em]bound[C]
Well I'm [D]in over my [G]head
[Em]again[C]
I hear those pis[D]tols layin'
[Em]down[C]
And I have [D]taken [G]the lives
of many [Em]men[C]
Now the [D]an gel's comin' [Em]down
I said the [C]angel of [D]death [G]is [Em]comin[C]g [B]down

[Verse 4]
Well, up [Em]in the horizon
Laid the red [G]sun, beatin' cold and dying
And [D]taking with it all the lives
the preacher [Em]stole
Well, you see, the preacher is not real
He [G]clench his fists of rage and steel
[D]And spit the fires of Satan
at your [Em]soul
He beat the path to Heaven's door
The an[G]gels said they'd take no more
[D]Now he walks the Earth forever lon[Em]e
And on the stone that marked his death
When [G]he did finally lay to rest
Were the [D]lonely words "I'm going [Em]home"
