Preacher Foretold Chords by Shawn James

Well, I was [Eb] just a young boy, [E] a preacher came to town, with an airborne [G] mystery [Eb] that did [E] confound.
Out of a hundred [G] young children, he took me to [Eb] the side, saying,
Boy, [B] I don't normally do this, but in you I [Eb] must confide.
[E] He said, Son, I know you're different, I can see [Eb] it in your [G] soul,
And I've got a message for you from the [E] great unknown.
Don't you be ashamed of what you will become,
Your truth will be much [E] different than these sheep's wool of [Eb] thumb.
Your voice will raise forth, your words will raise wide,
[D] Your spirit will [G] inspire many who otherwise would have died.
[E] So give it all you've [Eb] got, [G] give it all you've [Eb] _ got, [F] give it all you've [C] got, give it all you've [E] _ got.
[Eb] Now I'm a little [E] older, been from [B] sea to shining sea,
[E] Through [Eb] valleys and across mountains, that prophecy stayed [A] with me.
Once I tried [E] to ignore it and hide it down [Gb] below,
But that [Eb] muse had me breathless, lying on the [E] killing floor.
So don't you be [Ab] surprised when I [Eb] open wide the door,
[Bb] There's so much [Eb] more coming than there's ever been before.
[F] You can try to [E] deny just what's been foretold,
But like [Gb] David and Goliath, at [Eb] the giants I'm swinging stones,
Giving it [B] all I've got, giving [G] it all I've got, giving it all I've [B]
got, [Eb] giving it all I've got.
[G] You've got to give it all you've got, give it all you've got, [Eb] give it all you've [D] got, [F] give it all you've got. _ _
