Spreading gospel to the room

Verse 4
Bm
It was a Sunday night,
A
he was back in his office
E
He was writing them talking points
for the sermon next week
Bm
He was writing about forgiveness
A
and rolling with the punches
E
If you catch one on the chin
You just gotta turn the other cheek
Bm
A phone started ringing,
Bm
E
Some old gospel hymn he learned from sweet,
sweet Valerie
Verse 5
Bm
He checked who was calling,
A
he knew something was off
E
When he saw the sheriff's
office on the caller ID
Bm
He picked up and the call and
A
his heart started dropping
E
Esus4
He don't get this way often but
E
he's gritting his teeth
Bm
Someone broke into the parsonage,
A
the neighbors heard the poppin'
E
Before the lady finished,
he was down on his knees
Bm
A
She told him they caught him,
two broken locks and
E
Three little bodies and his sweet,
Esus4
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
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
A
E
Esus4
E
sweet Valerie
Bm
A
Oh, his sweet Valerie,
