Joy Williams - Preachers Daughter Chords

[Intro]
|D    |     |Bm   |Bm/A |
|G    |     |D    |A    |
 
[Verse 1]
      D
His hands turn gold leaf pages
F#   G                        F#
Then taught me to tie my laces
         Em7
He could build a house
                            A
Strong as the good lord's prayer
        D
Had two girls and never a son
F#        G
Left his job in eighty-one
     F#        Em7                             A
For cardboard boxes full of Sunday clothes to wear
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Em7
Yeah, we're all just who we are
F#   G
The apple don't fall far
 
 
[Chorus]
           D                    G
Preacher's daughter, I love my father
                 Em7          A
Turned wine from water in my eyes
          D              G
Bound together, sweet surrender
  F# Em7            A      F#          G     D  A
I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
 
 
[Verse 2]
          D
I was the one he could not tame
 F#        G
Bound to scuff up the family name
    F#     Em7                     A
And at seventeen I took off on my own
             D
And like his will, I would not bend
  F#      G
I guess I got my nerve from him
    F#      Em7
But we were made of salt
                          A
We were never made of stone
 
 
[Chorus]
           D                F#   G
Preacher's daughter, I love my father
            F#   Em7          A
Turned wine from water in my eyes
          D           F#  G
Bound together, sweet surrender
  F# Em7            A      F#           G       D
I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
  F#            G
A preacher's daughter
 
[Instrumental]
|D    |     |Bm   |Bm/A |
|G    |     |D    |A    |
 
[Verse 3]
  D
I took him to the brink
F#   G                            F#
He forgave me at the kitchen sink
         Em7                           A
Like an altar, I laid all my burdens down
         D
And the day that he passed on
          G
I lost a little piece of God
      Em7                                   A
But I see his smile in the son that I have now
 
 
[Chorus]
                D                    G
Oh, preacher's daughter, I love my father
                  Em7         A
Turned wine from water in my eyes
           D                 G
Bound together, heaven's treasure
  F#  Em7           A     F#          G       D
I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
  F#           G
A preacher's daughter
