D#/A# Bottles and bibles D#/A# D#7 Litter the floor D#7 G# G#7 An all night revival G#7 D#/A# Passed out around 4 Now the preacher's been drinkin' But it's hard not to do Since she ran out the screen door And swore they were through Fm G# Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here Fm G# D#/A# D#7 Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again Chorus: D#7 G# But it's a hard way to go, D#/A# on the straight and narrow A# A#7 D#/A# D#7 When everybody in town points a finger at you D#7 G# But they ain't had to walk with D#/A# the weight that you've hauled D#/A# A# They don't know you at all, A#7 D#/A# but they think that they do He didn't believe her He just knew she'd come home But the nights kept a' crawlin' As he laid there alone And he'd call up to heaven And he'd hope and he'd pray But the line's always busy Since he went astray Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again Chorus Now the bottles and bibles Broke out in a fight The whiskey fought hard, son And took the victory that night They found him a' layin' Face down by the stairs Dressed up for a sermon Nobody would hear Oh Lord if you care, send an angel down here Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  A#7  D#7  Fm  G#  G#7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
