The Preacher And The Stranger chords by Joey + Rory


Joey + Rory Chords

(Capo on 4)

Intro.:  (D) x 4 bars

(Verse 1)
"(D)Well we don't have much here but you're (G)welcome to it all"
The (A)preacher told the (G)stranger at the door (D)
"Come sit down by this fire, let the (G)coffee warm you up
I can't (A)say I've seen it (G)rain this hard before" (D)
The stranger (Bm)said, "I saw your (A)sign as I was (G)walking down the road
And I (Bm)figure that a (A)church might be the (G)safest place to go" (A)

(Chorus)
"Well son, (D)crosses sure get heavy and we (A)all got one to bear
If you're (Bm)looking for a (A)shelter from the (G)storm you'll find one here"
They (D)sat and talked for hours there (A)in that empty church (Bm)
About how life's unfair (A)sometimes, (G)trying to make (F#m)sense of how God (Em) works (A)

(Verse 2)
The preacher said, "I (D)lost my son one summer, he was (A)only 25 (G)
A drunk (A)driver crossed that (G)double yellow line (D)
I prayed so hard to Jesus to (G)save my only son
Seems (A)all I do these (G)days is question (D)why
Now I (Bm)stand here every (A)Sunday and preach to (G)everybody else
I talk a (Bm)lot about for-(A)giveness, but I (G)can't do it my-(A)self"

(Chorus)
"Well son, (D)crosses sure get heavy and we've (A)all got one to bear
I don't know (Bm)why I'm telling (A)you all this or (G)if you even care"
They (D)sat and talked for hours there (A)in that empty church (Bm)
About how life's unfair (A)sometimes, (G)trying to make (F#m)sense of how God (Em) works (A) ---

(Verse 3)
Tears (D)filled the strangers eyes, he said, (G) "I know I've changed a lot
(A) I might be hard for (G)you to recognize (D) (A)
(D)Late one summer night, I (G)had too much to drink
Got be-(A)hind the wheel and (G)changed both of our lives (D)
And I'm (Bm)sorry just ain't (A)good enough when you (G)hurt someone like that
And (Bm)if I could God (A)knows, I give my (G)life to bring him back" (A)

(Chorus)
"Preacher, (D)crosses sure get heavy and we've (A)all got one to bear
And I'm (Bm)here to ask for-(A)giveness, (G)if you even care"
They (D)sat and talked for hours there (A)in that empty church (Bm)
About how life's unfair (A)sometimes (G)trying to make (F#m)sense of how God (Em) works

Outro.:  |(A) / (Bm)(A/C#)|(D) -----
