The Lawman Reverend Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][A][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I can [D]still recall the [A]day my
Uncle [G]Chester caught reli[D]gion
The reverend took him swimming,
and the devil must've [A]drown
Uncle [D]Chester, he was [A]big,
he was [G]mean, and even [D]vicious
But he didn't stand a chance against the
[A]lawman Reverend Brown
[D]

[Verse 2]
The lawman Reverend [A]Brown was
[G]the sheriff of Pitman [D]County
His hair was long and black
like the dusty suit he [A]wore
In [D]the pockets of his [A]coat,
were [G]the tools of his profes[D]sions
A tattered old black bible
and [A]a loaded [D].44

[Verse 3]
And [G]all across the mountain,
you could [D]hear the children singing
'Bout the peace down in the valley
like there never was be[A]fore
The [D]reverend had a spe[A]cial way
for [G]healing wicked sin[D]ners
He only had to shoot a few to [A]save

[Interlude 1]
a whole lot more
[D][A][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I don't know where [A]he came from,
but I [G]do know where he's [D]gone
He's gone to meet his maker and
to guard the master's [A]throne
And [D]to keep a home fire [A]burning for
the [G]ones lost in [D]the night
The kind of fire he lit in me to
[A]help me see the light
[D]

[Verse 5]
And [G]all across the mountain,
you could [D]hear the children singing
'Bout the peace down in the valley like
there never was be[A]fore
[D]The reverend had a spe[A]cial way
for [G]healing wicked sin[D]ners
He only had to shoot a few [A]to save
a whole lot more
[D]

[Verse 6]
The lawman helped the rever[A]end
when he [G]taught the old time gos[D]pel
It was Heaven, it was prison,
oh, the [A]loaded [D].44[G]

[Verse 7]
All across [G]the mountain,
you could [D]hear the children singing
'Bout the peace down in the valley
like there never was be[A]fore
The [D]reverend had a spe[A]cial way
for [G]healing wicked sinner[D]s
He only had to shoot a few
[A]to save a whole lot more
[D]
