E
Well he was the assistant preacher, and the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in.
E
She was a looker from Atlanta, led the choir played piano

       B                     B7
Had a body that was made for sin.

           E
She didn't care that he was married, cause the torch that she carried

     A
Was hotter then the fires of hell.

        E
She had plans to suduce him

        A                
If she could she would loosen

  B7                 E
A notch in the Bible belt
[Verse 2]
E
So she called him up at home, when she knew he'd be alone,
Said, "Preacher I could use advice.
E
I got troubles with a man, that I know you'll understand

             B                        B7
If you could help me it would sure be nice".

           E
They met a few minutes after, in the office of the pastor

        A
And she started telling how she felt.

       E
What a chance they were takin'

           A
When they first started breakin'

    B7                 E
The laws of the Bible belt.
[Chorus]
           A
There's a lot of good people who are led astray

      E
That believe what the Good Book said.

           A
Well I'll tell ya something brother
When you're dealin' with the devil
      F#                   B7
It's tough to keep a level head.

      E
It's hard to imagine, how the flames of passion

     A
Can burn till your soul will melt.

            E
And it'll spread like a cancer

     A
But you're gonna have to answer

       B7                 E
To the Lord and the Bible belt.
[Instrumental] E A E A F# B E A E A B E [Verse 3]
E
Someone said they went to Vegas, back home it didn't take us long
To hear the news of what they did.
E
Nobody could believe, that he left his wife to grieve

  B                       B7
A-lone with two preschool kids.

        E
I don't know how there doin', but I know that they're screwin' up

   A
A good thing they once had.

            E
They better get their heads together

           A
Or they're gonna slap leather

         B7                 E
With the Lord and the Bible belt.
[Outro]
             E
They better get their heads together

           A
Or they're gonna slap leather

         B7                 E
With the Lord and the Bible belt.
