Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: Em G Am C Verse 1: Em G Raised me straight and raised me true Am C Spent my days becomin' you Em G Sunday mornin', evenin' too Am C Sittin' in your second pew Em G Torn apart, my spirit's spent Am C I fell in love on accident Em G Wondered just what Jesus meant Am C When He said all love was Heaven-sent C
Chorus: Em G Papa I don't need a preacher Am I ain't some kind of creature C From some old double feature Em G I just want to make you proud Am Of the kind of love I've found C But you say it ain't allowed Am Say that its a sin C But it's how I've always been D Em Did you love me when he was just my friend? Interlude: Em G Am C Verse 2: Em G Tried my hardest not to be Am C I locked the door and I broke the key Em G Jesus died upon that tree Am C Daddy, do you think it covered me? Em G Red and yellow, black and white Am C We are precious in His sight Em G Why can't I sleep through the night? Am C Daddy, do you think I've turned out right? C Chorus: Em G Papa I don't need a preacher Am I ain't some kind of creature C From some old double feature Em G I just want to make you proud Am Of the kind of love I've found C But you say it ain't allowed Am Say that it's a sin C But it's how I've always been D Did you love me when he was just my friend? Em G Am C Ahhh ahhh ahhhh Em G Am C ooooo ooo ooooo ooo Verse 3: Em G Papa you're the one that taught me Am By his stripes He sought me C And with his blood He bought me Em G Daddy you're the one that claimed Am That He loved me through the flame C Now why can't you do the same? Am Well I've been born again C But first was born in sin D Did you love me then? Em Did you love me then?
