[Intro]
Am G D
Am G D
[Verse]
Am
Well Brother Joe never had a lot
G
He became a man of God
D
Started preachin' at the church
Down by mile marker 17
Am
He works his days he works his nights
G
Spends his time saving lives
D
When the day ends, goes home to his beautiful family
[Verse]
Am
His sweet, sweet Valerie
G
Well she's the only reason
D
He ever found God in the first place
He thinks back to the first date
Am
He was nervous jumbling his words
G
Sweatin' when he tried to flirt
D
But he just never seen a woman in the world
as beautiful as her
[Verse]
Am
She told him all about Jesus
G
The love He had to give
D
Few years have passed now
And they're thinkin' 'bout some kids
Am
He popped out a couple few
G
To sit up in the front pew
D
Every Sunday morning when he's in the pulpit
Spreading gospel to the room
[Verse]
Am
The preacher man he's so in love
G
With God, his woman, his three sons
D
And every morning when he wakes
He thanks the good Lord up above
Am
This life he lives is more than enough
G
Sometimes things get tough
D
But he does it for his Valerie
Who pulled him from the rough yeah
[Instrumental/Solo]
Am G D D
Am G D D
[Verse]
Am
It was Sunday night
G
He was back in his office
D
He was writing down talking points
For the sermon next week
Am
He was writing 'bout forgiveness
G
And rolling with the punches
D
If you catch one on the chin
You just gotta turn the other cheek
[Verse]
Am
The phone started ringing
G
He was busy singing
D
Some ole gospel hymn
He learned from sweet, sweet Valerie
Am
He checked who was calling
G
He knew something was off
D
When he saw the sherrif's office
On the caller I.D.
[Verse]
Am
He picked up the call
G
And his heart started dropping
D
You don't get this way often
But he's gritting his teeth
Am
Someone broke into the parsonage
G
Neighbors heard the poppin'
D
'Fore the lady finished
He was down on his knees
[Verse]
Am
She told him they caught him
G
Two broken locks and
D
Three little bodies
And his sweet, sweet Valerieeeeeee
Am
Well the preacher man, he’s got a gun
G
He don’t wanna hurt no one
D
But he believed that Jesus needed him
To leave a bullet in a man’s head
[Verse]
Am
He knows that come the risen sun
G
It’ll all be said and done
D
He ain’t gonna make it right tonight
If he don’t paint the walls red
Am
He puts the steel in his own head
G
Two words is all he said
D
Tears streamin down his cheek
As he let out a "Jesus wept"
[Verse]
Am
What the hell was all this for
G
Lifeless body hits the floor
D
Soul is headed home sweet home
To his three boys
Am G D D
And his sweet, sweet Valerie
Am G D
And his sweet, sweet Valerie
D Am G D
Ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhh
[Outro]
Am G D D
Am G D D
Am G D D
