Preachers Daughter chords by Maggie Rose

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

Capo on fourth!

   A minorAm
Pink blossoms on the Mimosa trees
C majorC
Cadas dance, singing soft and sweet
G+G
Sweat on his neck in the summer heat
            A minorAm
Kissin' the preacher's daughter

A minorAm
Headlights flashing in their eyes
  C majorC
The shadow of a face they recognized
  G+G
A augmentedA single shot split the night
          A minorAm
Footsteps in muddy water

    G+G          FF
And the sun came up like the day before
    A minorAm
And her sheets hadn't been turned down
    G+G         FF
And the boy turned up downstream on the rocks
  A minorAm
Two miles outside of town
    G+G          FF
She was leavin' church in a white sundress
   A minorAm      D MajorD
Last time anybody saw her
  C majorC    D MajorD           A minorAm
Oh, what's become of the preacher's daughter

     A minorAm
One-eyed woman with her tarot cards
     C majorC
Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far
  G+G
The devil's a liar and he drives a car
            A minorAm
Somewhere in Catahoula County


     G+G          FF
Then the sun came up like the day before
    A minorAm
And her sheets hadn't been turned down
     G+G            FF
And the search dogs barked on the day they laid
  A minorAm
Her first love in the ground
  G+G            FF
The preacher's knees buckled in the heat
    A minorAm     D MajorD
So the deacon took over
     C majorC    D MajorD           A minorAm
And said "let us pray for the preacher's daughter"

  A minorAm
Blue lights flashin' on the riverbank
   C majorC
They held their breath as they dragged the chains
G+G
Hearts all sank when her beautiful face
          A minorAm
Came up out of the water

      A minorAm
Through her tangled hair they could see
C majorC
She was missing one earring
     G+G
Found the other in the back seat of the car
              A minorAm
Of the deacon that couldn't have her


    G+G          FF
And the sun came up like the day before
    A minorAm
And her sheets hadn't been turned down
      G+G            FF
When they slapped the cuffs on the deacon's wrists
     A minorAm
You could hear it all over town
    G+G          FF
And the headlines read "Justice At Last
  A minorAm       D MajorD
Up From The Muddy Water...
   C majorC  D MajorD            A minorAm
