[Verse 1]
                       G
It was the time of the preacher
                    D
When the story began
                       A
With the choice of a lady
                  D
And the love of a man
D7                        G
  How he loved her so dearly

[Verse 2]
                       D
He went out of his mind
                          A
When she left him for someone
             D
she'd left behind
Dsus4 D      D7          G
       He cried like a baby

[Verse 3]
   C               G                               D7
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
                     A
And he saddled his pony
               D
And went for a ride
D7                           G
  It was the time of the preacher

[Verse 4]
                 D
In the year of 01
                      A
Now the preachin' is over
                   D  G D
And the lesson's begun
