Am          C         G              Am
I am a man of cloth but not without my sin
  Am                   C        G              Am
I've heard the Devil's knock, I always let him in
  Am             C          G               Am
Temptation is my left hand, salvation is my right
  Am                 E         E                      Am
I wander through the darkness, but I always bring the light!
            G   F
I bring the light!
Am          G   F
I bring the light!
E        Am
Oh!

Am                  C          G               Am
Though I preach the word I was baptised in the well
Am                 C                G                     Am
I could save your wretched souls or send them straight to Hell
Am                  C        G                     Am
The dirt road is my path, my collar's stained with blood
Am            E               E               Am
Chasin' after locusts and I'm waitin' for the flood!
        G   F
For the flood!
Am      G   F
For the flood!
E     Am
Oh!

Am                       G
I wear that cloth but my heart's as black as coal
Am                              E
A scarecrow on the cross - I am preachin' to the crows
Am                         G
Humbled by the Lord, I'm a man without a soul
Am                 E             E                Am
Redemption has its price, and my cloth is full of holes!
             G   F
It's full of holes!
Am           G   F
It's full of holes!
E
Oh!

     Am       C         G                Am
I've come to testify, a war's been waged within
Am         C               G              Am
If I was a betting man I'd bet that Devil wins
Am               C             G                Am
Wrestled with my conscience, I wrestled with my soul
Am              E              E               Am
Now I fight the Devil and that Devil's got control!
         G     F
He's got control!
Am       G     F
He's got control!
E
Oh!

Am                       G
I wear that cloth but my heart's as black as coal
Am                              E
A scarecrow on the cross - I am preachin' to the crows
Am                         G
Humbled by the Lord, I'm a man without a soul
Am                 E             E                Am
Redemption has its price, and my cloth is full of holes!
             G   F
It's full of holes!
Am           G   F
It's full of holes!
E
Oh!

Am         C                   G               Am
My soul is burnin' though it's cold and in the grave
  Am             C              G              Am
I guess the Lord decided that I wasn't worth a save
  Am            C          G                Am
I travel in the shadows, I walk amongst the dead
   Am         E              E               Am
The outlaw is upon me and my gospel has been spread!
            G     F
It has been spread!
Am          G     F
It has been spread!
E
Oh!

Am                       G
I wear that cloth but my heart's as black as coal
Am                              E
A scarecrow on the cross - I am preachin' to the crows
Am                         G
Humbled by the Lord, I'm a man without a soul
Am                 E             E                Am
Redemption has its price, and my cloth is full of holes!
             G   F
It's full of holes!
Am           G   F
It's full of holes!
E
Oh!
