After The Preachers Gone

C


[Verse 1]
C
I wish you’d been at our house
                               Dm
To hear the blessing papa said today
   G7
He thanked the lord for everything
And asked him if he’d guide us all 
    C
the way
C
And then he asked the lord
To watch over us and bless out 
       Dm
little home
    G7
But I know how it's gonna be
                     C
After the Preacher’s Gone


[Verse 2]
C
Now mamma fixes dinner
For the preacher’s family once a 
Dm
year
  G7
I have to give the bible down
Continúa después del anuncio
And wipe away the dust throughout 
    C
the year
C
Then my mama says to papa
Watch your language or you might say
           Dm
 something wrong
    G7
But you should hear the words we’ll 
say
                     C

[Verse 3]
C#
My sister hid her novels
                           D#m
And I hid all my movie magazines
  G#7
I took out empty beer cans
Papa left last night while watching 
     C#
his TV
C#
And before the Preacher leaves us
He’ll ask papa if he’ll lead in a 
       D#m
gospel song
    G#7
But you should hear the songs we 
sing

[Verse 4]
D
Nobody has to tell us
                              Em
If we’re living by the golden rule
    A7
And we might fool the preacher
But it’s not him we’re really trying
    D
 to fool
D
Cause there’s somebody somewhere
And he’ll know it if your faith is 
       Em
really strong
    A
For he Is always watching you
