lyrics

I’m the Preacher by Darryl John (c) 2009

Intro: (E-G-A)

(E) I was tired; I got (G) fired, so they (A) hired, someone (E) else for my job.
That’s real cool, cos I’m no (G) fool, I went to (A) school, so I wouldn’t (E) be a knob.
Now I’m the Preacher, I’m gonna (G) greet ya, and I’ll (A) seat ya, in the (E) very first row.
Hear my choir, they’re on (G) fire, singing (A) Dire Straits (E) hits real slow.

(E) I’m the Preacher, I’m gonna teach ya.
I’m the Preacher, I’m gonna teach ya.
Said I’m the (G) Preacher, I’m gonna (A) teach ya.
(E) Everything you need to know.
Everything you need to know.

(D) Sit (A) down and just (E) listen,
(D) You don’t (A) know what you’ve been (E) missin’.

(E) Cos I’m the Preacher, yeah the Preacher.
Said I’m the Preacher, yeah the Preacher.
Said the (G) Preacher, I’m gonna (A) teach ya.
(E) Everything you need to know.
Everything you need to know.

Instrumental: (E-G-A) then (D-A-E) then (E-G-A)

(E) I’m no clown, lose that (G) frown, come sit (A) down, square (E) on my pew.
Clear your mind, you’ll soon (G) find, I’ve got (A) time, to teach you (E) something new.
Now give me five, come a- (G) -live, get that (A) jive, get (E) down on the floor.
It’s alright, day or (G) night, win the (A) fight, you’ll be (E) coming back for more.

(E) I’m the Preacher, I’m gonna teach ya.
I’m the Preacher, I’m gonna teach ya.
Said I’m the (G) Preacher, I’m gonna (A) teach ya.
(E) Everything you need to know.
Everything you need to know.

(D) Sit (A) down and just (E) listen,
(D) You don’t (A) know what you’ve been (E) missin’.

(E) Cos I’m the Preacher, yeah the Preacher.
Said I’m the Preacher, yeah the Preacher.
Said the (G) Preacher, I’m gonna (A) teach ya.
(E) Everything you need to know.
Everything you need to know.

I’m the (G) Preacher, yeah the (A) Preacher,
Said the (E) Preacher, yeah the Preacher.
Cos I’m the (G) Preacher, yeah the (A) Preacher,
Said I’m the (E) Preacher, yeah the Preacher.
Repeat and end with (E-G-A)
