Johnny Cash – The Preacher Said Jesus Said (Guitar)

          E                   B7              E
Well with everybody trying to tell us what to do

           E              B7                 E  A  E
You wonder how are you to know whose word is true

        A                       E                       F#
But the preacher just keep on a bringing us a very same word

            F#                               B7
And from St Paul to Billy Graham the same is heard

        E                B7          E
And the preacher said of truth Jesus said

E
And Jesus said I'm the way the truth and the life

     E                   B7               E
Well we can see that the world is full of greed

E                    B7                   E  A  E
There's so much hate yet there is so much need

     A                 E               F#
What should we do when no one seems to care

     F#                         B7
What can we do when there is no love there

             E                B7         E
And then the preacher said of love Jesus said

E
Jesus said love Thy neighbor as Thyself

     E                  B7             E
Well please tell us the road we oughta go

   E              B7            E  A  E
In such confusion how are we to know

       A                 E              F#
And if there is a heaven show us to its gates

                F#                               B7
Oh you'd better tell us preacher before it's too late

             E                B7           E
And then the preacher said of heaven Jesus said

E
Jesus said seek the first the kingdom of God and his righteousness

E
And all these things shall be added unto you

     E              B7                E
Well please tell us how we can find a way

   E                         B7            E  A  E
To climb every mountain that we face every day

       A                E               F#
And in time of troubles what to depend upon

   F#                             B7
To be the truth and help us carry on

        E                B7            E
And the preacher said of trouble Jesus said

E                                                                               A
Jesus said let not your heart be troubled if you believe in God believe also in me

A
In my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you

D
I go to prepare a place for you and if I prepare a place for you

       A
I will come again and receive you unto myself

E
That where I am there you may be also
