Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 2nd
  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Verse 1:
        Am
There's blood across the bayou
G               Am
Down in Mississippi
                G
Where they been killin' since the Civil War
                      Am
Over money, land, and whiskey




     Am
But don't go ask about it
G                 Am
People don't take kind
       Dm
To you diggin' up those skeletons
    E7                   Am
You leave 'em where they lie
🎸

G   Am

Am
Was it pills or alcohol?
G               Am
Meth or devil's cane?
          G
Or did he catch a whiff of somethin'
                           Am
That would send him to his grave?

   Am
Or did he have a death wish?
G                 Am
Was his heart too weak?
     Dm
They found him lyin' face-down
E7               Am
Floatin' in the creek


Chorus:
           F       G              Am
Preacher's dead on Slaughterhouse Road
            Dm  E7        Am
Who did him in
nobody knows
           Dm      E7             Am
His body's cold on Slaughterhouse Road

G   Am

Verse 2:
     Am
Well some say he was a straight shot
G                 Am
Kept his own nose clean
     G
Some say he was a man of God
                         Am
You won't hear that from me

       Am
Well I know he had a Bible church
   G        Am
On Highway 28
    Dm
But laying hands and praying loud
      E7               Am
Don't mean that you is saved

      Am
Oh it says in Revelation
       G           Am
That idolators and liars
     Dm
Will come to meet their second death
     E7              Am
In a lake of burnin' fire


Chorus:
           F        G             Am
Preacher's dead on Slaughterhouse Road
            Dm  E7       Am
Who did him in
nobody knows
            Dm     E7             Am
His body's cold on Slaughterhouse Road

Interlude:
G  Am   Dm E7 Am

Verse 3:
      Am
Well, we was highschool sweethearts
G              Am
Married twenty years
    G
Sometimes you don't see right away
      G                   Am
What time will soon make clear

         Am
Well, he had a taste for younger girls
G                    Am
Sleepin' around with trash
        Dm
I found lipstick on his collared shirt
    E7              Am
And somethin' in me snapped

          Am
Well they came around to question me
     G               Am
Two good ol' country cops
     G
Then tipped their hats, said "Thank you ma'am
                   Am
"So sorry for your loss"

       Am
And it looked just like an accident
G               Am
Final cause of death
    Dm
Not Miller Lite with cyanide
     E7        Am
Just cardiac arrest
    Dm
Not Miller Lite with cyanide
     E7        Am
Just cardiac arrest


Chorus:
           F        G             Am
Preacher's dead on Slaughterhouse Road
            Dm  E7        Am
Who did him in
nobody knows
           Dm       E7            Am
His body's cold on Slaughterhouse Road
            Dm  E7        Am
Who did him in
God only knows
