Johnny Cash - Time Of The Preacher Chords

D  G  D  A  D
D                      G
It was the time of the preacher
               D
When the story began
                   A
Of the choice of a lady
                  D  G  D
And the love of a man

D                        G
And how he loved her so dearly
                   D
He went out of his mind
                      A
When she left him for someone
             D  G  D
She'd left behind

D               G
He cried like a baby
                        D
He screamed her name at Night                     
                   A
And he saddled his pony
                  D  G  D
And he went for a ride


D                      G
It was the time of the preacher
                 D
In the year of '01
                     A
Now the preaching is over
                  D  G  D
And the lesson's begun

D                        G
But he could not forgive her
                       D
Though he tried and he tried
                     A
And the halls of his memory
                D  G  D
Still echo her lies


D                       G
It was the time of the preacher
                 D
In the year of '01
                  A
Now the lesson is over
                  D  G  D
And the killing's begun
D                      G
It was the time of the preacher
                 D
In the year of '01
                        A
When you think it's all over
            D  G D
It's only begun
