Verse 1:
   E MajorE        BB      A augmentedA        E MajorE
I can still recall the day my Uncle Chester caught religion
  E MajorE                         BB
The reverend took him swimmin' and the devil must have drowned
   E MajorE        BB      A augmentedA       E MajorE
Uncle Chester, he was big, he was mean, and even vicious
    E MajorE                 BB        E MajorE
But he didn't stand a chance against the Lawman Reverend Brown

Verse 2:
  E MajorE        BB       A augmentedA         E MajorE
The Lawman Reverend Brown was the sheriff of Pitman County
  E MajorE                       BB
His hair was long and black like the dusty suit he wore
    E MajorE       BB       A augmentedA        E MajorE
In the pockets of his coat were the tools of his professions
 E MajorE               BB    E MajorE
A augmentedA tattered old black bible and a loaded 44

Chorus:
  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
And all across the mountain, you could hear the children singin'
     E MajorE                        BB
'Bout the peace down in the valley like there never was before
  E MajorE       BB       A augmentedA       E MajorE
The reverend had a special way of healin' wicked sinners
  E MajorE             BB        E MajorE
He only had to shoot a few to save a whole lot more

I don't know where he came from but I do know where he's gone
   E MajorE                        BB
He's gone to meet his maker and to guard the master's throne
    E MajorE        BB        A augmentedA        E MajorE
And to keep a home fire burnin' for the ones lost in the night
  E MajorE              BB        E MajorE
The kind of fire he lit in me to help me see the light

Chorus:

He only had to shoot a few to save a whole lot more

It was heaven it was prison or the loaded 44
