Preacher's Daughter Maggie Rose
Capo on fourth!
Pink [Am]blossoms on the Mimosa trees
[C]Cadas dance, singing soft and sweet
[G]Sweat on his neck in the summer heat
Kissin' the preacher's [Am]daughter
[Am]Headlights flashing in their eyes
The [C]shadow of a face they recognized
A s[G]ingle shot split the night
Footsteps in muddy [Am]water
And the [G]sun came up like the [F]day before
And her [Am]sheets hadn't been turned down
And the [G]boy turned up down[F]stream on the rocks
Two [Am]miles outside of town
She was [G]leavin' church in a [F]white sundress
Last [Am]time anybody [D]saw her
Oh, [C]what's be[D]come of the preacher's [Am]daughter
One-eyed [Am]woman with her tarot cards
Said she [C]ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far
The [G]devil's a liar and he drives a car
Somewhere in Catahoula [Am]County
Then the [G]sun came up like the [F]day before
And her [Am]sheets hadn't been turned down
And the s[G]earch dogs barked on the [F]day they laid
Her [Am]first love in the ground
The [G]preacher's knees buckled [F]in the heat
So the [Am]deacon took [D]over
And said "[C]let us p[D]ray for the preacher's [Am]daughter"
Blue[Am] lights flashin' on the riverbank
They [C]held their breath as they dragged the chains
[G]Hearts all sank when her beautiful face
Came up out of the [Am]water
Through her [Am]tangled hair they could see
[C]She was missing one earring
Found the [G]other in the back seat of the car
Of the deacon that couldn't [Am]have her
And the [G]sun came up like the [F]day before
And her [Am]sheets hadn't been turned down
When they s[G]lapped the cuffs on the d[F]eacon's wrists
You could [Am]hear it all over town
And the [G]headlines read "Just[F]ice At Last
Up [Am]From The Muddy [D]Water...
The Re[C]surr[D]ection of the Preacher's [Am]Daughter"
