Chords

[Verse 1]
             C/G
[tab] C/G        C7
Litter the floor

 C7           F   F7
An all night revival

 F7             C/G
Passed out around 4

                           C/G
Now the preacher's been drinkin'

 C/G                 C7
But it's hard not to do

 C7                     F     F7
Since she ran out the screen door

 F7                   C/G
And swore they were through
(Pre Chorus)
    Dm                         F
Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here

             Dm              F       C/G         C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Chorus]
 C7                   F                       C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow

                   G G7                   C/G    C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you

 C7                   F                             C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled

 C/G                   G G7                         C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
[Verse 2]
                  C/G
He didn't believe her

 C/G                     C7
He just knew she'd come home

 C7                     F     F7
But the nights kept a' crawlin'

F7                C/G
As he laid there alone

                     C/G
And he'd call up to heaven

C/G                     C7
And he'd hope and he'd pray

C7                    F   F7
But the line's always busy

F7              C/G
Since he went astray
[Pre Chorus]
    Dm                           F
Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers

             Dm              F       C/G        C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Chours]
C7                    F                       C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow

C/G                G G7                   C/G    C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you

C7                     F                             C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled

C/G                    G G7                          C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
[Verse 3]
                      C/G
Now the bottles and bibles

 C/G             C7
Broke out in a fight

 C7                     F  F7
The whiskey fought hard, son

F7                         C/G
And took the victory that night

                    C/G
They found him a' layin'

 C/G               C7
Face down by the stairs

 C7                F  F7
Dressed up for a sermon

 F7           C/G
Nobody would hear
(Pre Chourus)
     Dm                         F
Oh Lord, if you care, send your angels down here

            Dm              F       C/G   C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Chorus]
C7                     F                       C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow

 C/G               G G7                    C/G C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you

C7                     F F7                           C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled

C/G                   G G7                          C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
