Maggie Rose - Preachers Daughter chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Capo on fourth!
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
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/maggie-rose/354411.html ]
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"
