[Intro]
Am   G   D
Am   G   D
 
 
[Verse]
      Am
Well Brother Joe never had a lot
G
He became a man of God
 D
Started preachin' at the church
 
Down by mile marker 17
 
    Am
He works his days he works his nights
 G
Spends his time saving lives
 D
When the day ends, goes home to his beautiful family
 
 
[Verse]
     Am
His sweet, sweet Valerie
      G
Well she's the only reason
               D
He ever found God in the first place
 
He thinks back to the first date
 
        Am
He was nervous jumbling his words
 G
Sweatin' when he tried to flirt
    D
But he just never seen a woman in the world
 
as beautiful as her
 
 
[Verse]
     Am
She told him all about Jesus
     G
The love He had to give
D
Few years have passed now
 
And they're thinkin' 'bout some kids
 
    Am
He popped out a couple few
    G
To sit up in the front pew
 D
Every Sunday morning when he's in the pulpit
 
Spreading gospel to the room
 
 
[Verse]
     Am
The preacher man he's so in love
      G
With God, his woman, his three sons
     D
And every morning when he wakes
 
He thanks the good Lord up above
 
      Am
This life he lives is more than enough
 G
Sometimes things get tough
 D
But he does it for his Valerie
 
Who pulled him from the rough yeah
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]
Am   G   D   D
Am   G   D   D
 
 
[Verse]
        Am
It was Sunday night
        G
He was back in his office
        D
He was writing down talking points
 
For the sermon next week
 
        Am
He was writing 'bout forgiveness
     G
And rolling with the punches
        D
If you catch one on the chin
 
You just gotta turn the other cheek
 
 
[Verse]
     Am
The phone started ringing
G
He was busy singing
      D
Some ole gospel hymn
 
He learned from sweet, sweet Valerie
 
    Am
He checked who was calling
    G
He knew something was off
         D
When he saw the sherrif's office
 
On the caller I.D.
 
 
[Verse]
    Am
He picked up the call
         G
And his heart started dropping
           D
You don't get this way often
 
But he's gritting his teeth
 
         Am
Someone broke into the parsonage
 G
Neighbors heard the poppin'
  D
'Fore the lady finished
 
He was down on his knees
 
 
[Verse]
     Am
She told him they caught him
 G
Two broken locks and
 D
Three little bodies
 
And his sweet, sweet Valerieeeeeee
 
          Am
Well the preacher man, he’s got a gun
G
He don’t wanna hurt no one
    D
But he believed that Jesus needed him
 
To leave a bullet in a man’s head
 
 
[Verse]
    Am
He knows that come the risen sun
G
It’ll all be said and done
D
He ain’t gonna make it right tonight
 
If he don’t paint the walls red
 
   Am
He puts the steel in his own head
 G
Two words is all he said
 D
Tears streamin down his cheek
 
As he let out a "Jesus wept"
 
 
[Verse]
 Am
What the hell was all this for
 G
Lifeless body hits the floor
D
Soul is headed home sweet home
 
To his three boys
 
         Am     G       D    D
And his sweet, sweet Valerie
         Am     G       D
And his sweet, sweet Valerie
 
 D      Am     G      D
Ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhh
