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 ChorusA 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
