Time Of The Preacher Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Capo 1st Fret
[Strum] D D UD


[D] [G] [D] [A] [D]
[D]It was the time of the [G]preacher
When the story [D]began
Of the choice of a [A]lady
And the love of a [D]man[G] [D]

[D]And how he loved her so d[G]early
He went out of his [D]mind
When she left him for [A]someone
She'd left be[D]hin[G]d [D]

[D]He cried like a [G]baby
He screamed her name at [D]Night
And he saddled his [A]pony
And he went for a [D]rid[G]e [D]

[D]It was the time of the [G]preacher
In the year of '0[D]1
Now the preaching is [A]over
And the lesson's b[D]egu[G]n [D]

[D]But he could not forgive [G]her
Though he tried and he [D]tried
And the halls of his [A]memory
Still echo her l[D]ies[G] [D]

[D]It was the time of the p[G]reacher
In the year of '0[D]1
Now the lesson is [A]over
And the killing's [D]beg[G]un [D]
[D]It was the time of the [G]preacher
In the year of '0[D]1
When you think it's all [A]over
It's only be[D]gun[G] [D]

[D] [G] [D] [A] DGD
