Chorus

Am G F G

Can’t kill the preacher in a man of God

Am G F G

He will be heard somehow

Am G F G

You can shoot a reverend or a man of the cloth

Am G F G

But you can’t kill the preacher

Am G F G

Can’t kill the preacher in a man of God

Am G F G

The Holy Ghost won’t die

Am G F G

There ain’t no way to terminate his job

Am G F G

No you can’t kill the preacher

Am F G Am

Can’t kill the preacher in a man of God

Vs. 1

F

You can take away the pulpit and the church building too

Take everything that seems important to you

D

Take his credentials but you can’t touch the essentials

B7 E7

Write him off forever but you’ll never, never

(Chorus)

Vs. 2

F

You can throw him to the lions you can lock him away

‘Cause you don’t want to hear what the preacher has to say

D

Even though you may not want to he will come back to haunt you

B7 E7

You can chop off his head he’ll still be talking when he’s dead
