The Preacher And The Bear Ao vivo Tab

[Verse 1]
(Strums each chord once)
         G                                   C             G
Well the preacher went out a huntin', it was on one Sunday morn'
                                  A             D7
Although against his religion, he took his gun along
   G                                       C               G
He shot himself some mighty fine quail and one old measley hare
    C             G      E7              A      D7        G
But on his way returning home, he met a great big grizzly bear

[Verse 2]
         G                      G7                      C                       G
Well the bear dashed out to the middle of the road right up to the preacher and seen
    G                               A                   D
The preacher got so excited that he climbed up a big ol tree
    G                  G7                     C                         G
The bear stayed down upon the ground and the preacher climbed out on a limb
   C                    G            E7        A              D         G
He cast his eyes to the Lord in the skies and these words he said to him
 
[Chorus]
     G                                             D      G
"Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel, saved him from the lion's den
    G                              A                      D
You also delivered Jonah, from the belly of the whale and then
          G                        G7
Cast the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
    C               G
The good books do declare
C                G          E7
Now Lordy, if you don't help me,
A          D         G
Just don't help that bear"

[Verse 3]
         G                     G7                C                G
Well, the preacher stayed up in that tree oh I think it was all night
   G                                                A                  D
He said "Oh Lord if you don't help me, you're gonna see one hell of a fight"
G                    G7                   C                        G
About that time, the limb let go, and the preacher come-a tumblin' down
    C                            G     E7    A       D         G
You should have seen him get his razor out before he hit the ground
 
[Verse 4]
       G                                       C                    G
He hit the ground shakin right to left and he put up a pretty good fight
          G                                 A                        D
Then the bear hugged the preacher, and he squeezed him a little too tight
G                    G7                 C                   G
Preacher dropped his razor, man but the bear held on with a grin
   C                    G            E7        A              D       G
He cast his eyes to the Lord in the skies and these words he said to him
 
[Chorus]
      G                                            D      G
"Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel, saved him from the lion's den
    G                              A                      D
You also delivered Jonah, from the belly of the whale and then
          G                       G7
Cast the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
    C               G
The good books do declare
C                 G          E7
Now Lordy, if you don't help me,
A          D         G
Just don't help that bear
C                 G          E7
Now Lordy, if you don't help me
A              D         G
Just don't you help that bear"
