[G]
Here's a song I haven't done in a [B] while.
I'm going to try it.
[Bm]
Well [D] there's a whiskey drinking preacher [A] Underneath the old trade [G] trestle
[B] Polishing a spoon he found With the tail of his [D] Sunday shirt
And just like Jesus [G] He talks in parables
[B] With a trembling crooked finger He draws [D] pictures in the dirt
[B] Pictures in [D] the dirt
And sitting on some old blue milk crates It's a smelly congregation
When life dealt out their [B] card Hard luck [D] come up in spades
And the preacher said I got good news
The good Lord loves me and you [A] Amen said the [B] hooker
And the [A] hollow-eyed boy with AIDS The hollow-eyed [D] boy with AIDS
[A] And the preacher prayed a prayer And [D] served communion
And poured some wine and shared some bread Out of his grocery cart
And laid a worn out [A] Gideon's Bible On an [D] old drum pulpit
And then he spoke these words That came right [A] from his heart
[D] Every sinner's got a future And every saint's got a past
And [A] everybody's got a Sunday [D] When the first shall be the last
So don't let the [G] devil tell you [D] That the dies [G] already can
Cause [D] every sinner's got a future [A] And every saint's got [D] a past
[G] Hallelujah
[D]
[Bm] [B] [Bm] [D]
Well now we'd all hit rock bottom [G] But we all found redemption
[B] When the good Lord shined His light On this unlikely holy [D]
place
And the sun burst out from behind the cloud It ought not to [G] go unmentioned
[B] At the downtown church, Plymouth, Oregon Started playing [D] Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace
[A] When the whiskey-drinking preacher [D] Served communion
And [G] poured some wine and shared some bread [D] From his grocery cart
[A] And laid a worn out Gideon's Bible On an old drum pulpit
[G] And then he preached this sermon That we all knew [A] by heart
[E] [D] Every sinner's got a future And every saint's got a past
And [A]
everybody's got a Sunday [D] When the first shall be the last
So don't let the devil tell you That the dies already can
Cause every sinner's got a future And every saint's got a past
Every sinner's got a future And every [A]
saint's got a past
