It was a Sunday night,

he was back in his office

two broken locks and

Three little bodies and his sweet,

E
sweet Valerie
Verse 6
E
Bm
Well, the preacher man, he's got a gun
A
He don't wanna hurt no one
E
But he believed that Jesus needed him
To leave a bullet in a man's head
Bm
He knows that come the risen sun,
A
it'll all be said and done
E
He ain't gonna make
it right tonight
If he don't paint the walls red
Verse 7
Bm
He puts the steel to his own head
A
Two words is all he said
E
Tears streaming down his cheek
as he let out a "Jesus wept"
Bm
What the hell is all this for?
A
Lifeless body hits the floor
E
Soul is headed home, sweet
home to his three boys
Bm
And his sweet,
A
E
Esus4
E
sweet Valerie
Bm
A
Oh, his sweet Valerie,
