D G
It was the time of the preacher
D
When the story began
A
Of the choice of a lady
D G D
And the love of a man
D G
And how he loved her so dearly
D
He went out of his mind
A
When she left him for someone
D G D
She'd left behind
D G
He cried like a baby
D
He screamed her name at Night
A
And he saddled his pony
D G D
And he went for a ride
D G
It was the time of the preacher
D
In the year of '01
A
Now the preaching is over
D G D
And the lesson's begun
D G
But he could not forgive her
D
Though he tried and he tried
A
And the halls of his memory
D G D
Still echo her lies
D G
It was the time of the preacher
D
In the year of '01
A
Now the lesson is over
D G D
And the killing's begun
D G
It was the time of the preacher
D
In the year of '01
A
When you think it's all over
D G D
It's only begun
