VERSE 1: G#m It's not what I had planned when I was walking in B C#m I didn't know what I'd see G#m Stepping through the door, their clothes were on the floor B C#m Was something like a bad dream G#m And then in just a blink, before I could think B C#m I didn't know what happened G#m All I knew was this B C#m How could he commit a crime against our passion PRE-CHORUS:
G#m F# E Ooh... the moment that I saw them kiss G#m F# E Ooh... I knew it had to end like this CHORUS: G#m F# Preacher, take me down E C#m E Take me down to the river, river G#m F# I couldn't help myself E C#m E When I saw him with her, with her G#m F# I took that loaded gun E C#m E Forgive what I have done G#m F# So preacher, take me down E C#m E Take me down to the river, river VERSE 2: G#m The writing's on the wall, but it was his fault B C#m How could anybody blame me G#m I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew B C#m I swear you'd do the same thing PRE-CHORUS: G#m F# E Ooh... if you give me one more chance G#m F# E Ooh... I'll never shoot him down again CHORUS: G#m F# Preacher, take me down E C#m E Take me down to the river, river G#m F# I couldn't help myself E C#m E When I saw him with her, with her G#m F# I took that loaded gun E C#m E Forgive what I have done G#m F# So preacher, take me down E C#m E Take me down to the river, river BREAKDOWN: G#m B C#m E F# Take me down G#m B C#m E F# Take me down G#m B C#m E F# Take me down G#m B C#m E F# River, river G#m B C#m E F# Take me down CHORUS: G#m F# Preacher, take me down E C#m E Take me down to the river, river G#m F# I couldn't help myself E C#m E When I saw him with her, with her G#m F# I took that loaded gun E C#m E Forgive what I have done G#m F# So preacher, take me down E C#m E
