[E]Well he was the assistant preacher And the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in
She was a looker from atlanta Led the choir, played piano
Had a b[B]ody that was made for sin
[E]She didn,t care that he was married Cause the torch that she carried
Was h[A]otter then the fires of hell
[E]She had plans to suduce him
If she c[A]ould she would lo[B]osen
A notch in the bible b[E]elt
[E]So she called him up at home, When she knew he'd be alone,
Said preacher I could use advice
I got troubles with a man, That I know you'll understand
If you could h[B]elp me it would sure be nice
[E]They met a few minutes after, In the office of the pastor
And she st[A]arted telling how she felt
What a ch[E]ance they were takin'
When they f[A]irst started breakin'
The l[B]aws of the bible b[E]elt
Chorus:
There's a l[A]ot of good people
Who are led astray
That b[E]elieve what the good book said
Well I'll t[A]all ya something brother
When you're dealin' with the devil
It's t[F#]ough to keep a level h[B]ead
It's h[E]ard to imagine How the flames of passion
Can b[A]urn till your soul will melt
And it'll sp[E]read like a cancer
But y[A]ou're gonna have to answer
To the l[B]ord and the bible b[E]elt
Guitar/piano: E-A-E-A-F#-B
Verse:II[E-A-E-A-B-E]
[E]Someone said they went to Vegas, Back home it didn't take us long
To hear the news of what they did
Nobody could believe That he left his wife to grieve
[B]Alone with two preschool kids
[E]I don't know how there doin'
But I know that they're screwin' up
A g[A]ood thing they once had
They b[E]etter get their heads together
Or they're go[A]nna slap leather
With the l[B]ord and the bible b[E]elt
Repeat chorus:
They better g[E]et their heads together
Or they're go[A]nna slap leather
With the l[B]ord and the bible b[E]elt
