Intro: Am G D x2

Verse:
      Am
Well Brother Joe never had a life
G
He became a man of God
 D
Started preachinʼ at the church

Down by mile marker 17

    Am
He works his days he works his nights
 G
Spends his time saving lives
 D
When the day ends, goes home to hid beautiful family

     Am
His sweet, sweet Valerie
      G
Well sheʼs the only reason
               D
He ever found God in the first place

He thinks back to the first day

        Am
He was nervous jumbling his words
 G
Sweatinʼ when he tried to flirt
    D
But he just never seen a woman in the world

Whoʼs beautiful as her

     Am
She told him all about Jesus
     G
The love He had to give
D
Few years have passed now

And theyʼre thinkinʼ ;bout some kids

    Am
He popped out a couple few
    G
To sit upi in the front pew
 D
Every Sunday morning when heʼs in the pulpit

Spreading gospel to the room

     Am
The preacher man heʼs so in love
      G
With God, his woman, his three sons
     D
And every morning when he wakes

He thanks the good Lord up above

     Am
His sloppy wheel well did enough
 G
Sometimes things get tough
 D
But he does it for his Valerie

Who pulled him from the rough yeah

Am G D D x2

           Am
It wasnʼt Sunday night
        G
He was back in his office
        D
He was writing down talking points

For the sermon next week

        Am
He was writing ʼbout forgiveness
     G
And rolling with the punches
        D
If you catch one on the chin

You just gotta turn the other cheek

     Am
The phone started ringing
G
He was busy singing
      D
Some ole gospel hymn

He learned from sweet, sweet Valerie

    Am
He checked who was calling
    G
He knew something was off
         D
When he saw the sherrifʼs office

On the caller I.D.

    Am
He picked up the call
         G
And his heart started dropping
           D
You donʼt get this way often

But heʼs gritting his teeth

         Am
Someone broke into the parsonage
 G
Neighbors heard the poppinʼ
  D
ʼFore the lady flinched

He was down on his knees

     Am
She told him they ainʼt cotton
 G
Two broken locks and
 D
Three little bodies

And his sweet, sweet Valerieeeeeee

          Am
Well the preacher man he’s got a gun
G
He don’t wanna hurt no one
    D
But he believed that Jesus needed him

To leave a bullet in a man’s head

    Am
He knows that come the risen sun
G
It’ll all be said and done
D
He ain’t gonna make it right tonight

If he don’t paint the walls red

 Am
Puts the steel in his own head
 G
Two words is all he said
 D
Tears streamin down his cheek

As he let out that Jesus wept

 Am
What the hell was all this for
 G
Lifeless body hits the floor
D
So he’s heading home sweet home

To his three boys

         Am     G       D    D
And his sweet, sweet Valerie
         Am     G       D
And his sweet, sweet Valerie

 D      Am     G      D
Ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhh

Am G D D x3

 Am
Brother Joe never had a lot
G
He became a man of God
 D
Started preaching at the church

Down by mile marker 17
