Preaching Up A Storm Chords & Lyrics - Mel Mcdaniel

[C]They were down by the [G]river on that [D]Lincoln Co[G]unty shore
[C]Singing Peace In The [G]Valley and pre[D]aching up a [G]storm

[G]There was a crowd gathered down by the river

Where me and Benny Thompson used to play
[C]I wondered if they had enough a water
To wash old Lester Harper[G]'s sins away
Cause I [D]heard Miss Ida whisper he's to[G]o lost to save

[G]Well they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening

Some things are hard to understand when you're eight
[C]I can still hear the thunder and see the lightning
When Preacher Hayes raised his [G]hands to pray
I could [D]feel my body tremble cause[G] I was so afraid

[C]Yeah they were down by the [G]river on that [D]Lincoln Coun[G]ty shore
[C]Singing Peace In The [G]Valley and pr[D]eaching up a[G] storm

[C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G]

[G]I was there but I could barely hear the sermon

I was scared and didn't care to get up close
[C]I heard him tell 'em something was a burning
And then he shouted something ab[G]out a ghost
And when they [D]walked down in the water
Sister Harper hollered[G] please don't let him go

[C]Well they were down by the [G]river on that [D]Lincoln Count[G]y shore
[C]Singing Peace In The [G]Valley and [D]preaching up a [G]storm

[C]They were down by the [G]river on that L[D]incoln Count[G]y shore
[C]Singing Peace In The[G] Valley and [D]preaching up a[G] storm

[C]They were down by the [G]river on that [D]Lincoln Count[G]y shore
S[C]inging Peace In The[G] Valley and [D]preaching up a[G] storm
