Preachers Daughter
Composição de (Connie Harrington, Margaret Durante)
Capo 1

     Am          
Pink blossoms on the Mimosa trees 
C 
Cadas dance, singing soft and sweet 
G 
Sweat on his neck in the summer heat 
                       Am 
Kissin' the preacher's daughter 

Am 
Headlights flashing in their eyes 
    C 
The shadow of a face they recognized 
   G 
A single shot split the night 
                   Am 
Footsteps in muddy water 


        G                    F 
And the sun came up like the day before 
        Am 
And her sheets hadn't been turned down 
        G                 F 
And the boy turned up downstream on the rocks 
    Am 
Two miles outside of town 
        G                   F 
She was leavin' church in a white sundress 
     Am           D 
Last time anybody saw her 
    C        D                      Am  
Oh, what's become of the preacher's daughter 

         Am 
One-eyed woman with her tarot cards 
         C 
Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far 
    G 
The devil's a liar and he drives a car 
                       Am 
Somewhere in Catahoula County 


         G                    F 
Then the sun came up like the day before 
        Am 
And her sheets hadn't been turned down 
         G                        F 
And the search dogs barked on the day they laid 
    Am 
Her first love in the ground 
    G                        F 
The preacher's knees buckled in the heat 
       Am          D 
So the deacon took over 
          C       D                      Am 
And said "let us pray for the preacher's daughter" 

  
    Am 
Blue lights flashin' on the riverbank 
     C 
They held their breath as they dragged the chains 
G 
Hearts all sank when her beautiful face 
                   Am  
Came up out of the water 

            Am 
Through her tangled hair they could see 
C 
She was missing one earring 
          G 
Found the other in the back seat of the car 
                            Am 
Of the deacon that couldn't have her 
     

        G                    F 
And the sun came up like the day before 
        Am 
And her sheets hadn't been turned down 
           G                        F 
When they slapped the cuffs on the deacon's wrists 
          Am 
You could hear it all over town 
        G                   F 
And the headlines read "Justice At Last 
   Am             D 
Up From The Muddy Water... 
      C   D                        Am 
The Resurrection of the Preacher's Daughter"
