• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
       C/GC/G
Bottles and bibles
 C/GC/G    C7C7
Litter the floor
 C7C7      FF  F7F7
An all night revival
 F7F7       C/GC/G
Passed out around 4

              C/GC/G
Now the preacher's been drinkin'
 C/GC/G         C7C7
But it's hard not to do
 C7C7           FF   F7F7
Since she ran out the screen door
 F7F7          C/GC/G
And swore they were through

(Pre Chorus)
  DmDm             FF
Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here
       DmDm       FF    C/GC/G     C7C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Chorus:
 C7C7          FF            C/GC/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
          G+G G7G7          C/GC/G  C7C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
 C7C7          FF               C/GC/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
 C/GC/G          G+G G7G7             C/GC/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do

Verse 2:
         C/GC/G
He didn't believe her
 C/GC/G           C7C7
He just knew she'd come home
 C7C7           FF   F7F7
But the nights kept a' crawlin'
F7F7        C/GC/G
As he laid there alone

           C/GC/G
And he'd call up to heaven
C/GC/G           C7C7
And he'd hope and he'd pray
C7C7          FF  F7F7
But the line's always busy
F7F7       C/GC/G
Since he went astray

Pre Chorus:
  DmDm              FF
Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers
       DmDm       FF    C/GC/G    C7C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Chours:
C7C7          FF            C/GC/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
C/GC/G        G+G G7G7          C/GC/G  C7C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
C7C7           FF               C/GC/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
C/GC/G          G+G G7G7             C/GC/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do

Verse 3:
           C/GC/G
Now the bottles and bibles
 C/GC/G       C7C7
Broke out in a fight
 C7C7           FF F7F7
The whiskey fought hard, son
F7F7             C/GC/G
And took the victory that night

          C/GC/G
They found him a' layin'
 C/GC/G        C7C7
Face down by the stairs
 C7C7        FF F7F7
Dressed up for a sermon
 F7F7      C/GC/G
Nobody would hear

(Pre Chourus)
   DmDm             FF
Oh Lord, if you care, send your angels down here
      DmDm       FF    C/GC/G  C7C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again

Chorus:
C7C7           FF            C/GC/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
 C/GC/G        G+G G7G7          C/GC/G C7C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
C7C7           FF F7F7              C/GC/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
C/GC/G          G+G G7G7             C/GC/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
