[Intro]
|D | |Bm |Bm/A |
|G | |D |A |
[Verse 1]
D
His hands turn gold leaf pages
F# G F#
Then taught me to tie my laces
Em7
He could build a house
A
Strong as the good lord's prayer
D
Had two girls and never a son
F# G
Left his job in eighty-one
F# Em7 A
For cardboard boxes full of Sunday clothes to wear
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
Yeah, we're all just who we are
F# G
The apple don't fall far
[Chorus]
D G
Preacher's daughter, I love my father
Em7 A
Turned wine from water in my eyes
D G
Bound together, sweet surrender
F# Em7 A F# G D A
I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
[Verse 2]
D
I was the one he could not tame
F# G
Bound to scuff up the family name
F# Em7 A
And at seventeen I took off on my own
D
And like his will, I would not bend
F# G
I guess I got my nerve from him
F# Em7
But we were made of salt
A
We were never made of stone
[Chorus]
D F# G
Preacher's daughter, I love my father
F# Em7 A
Turned wine from water in my eyes
D F# G
Bound together, sweet surrender
F# Em7 A F# G D
I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
F# G
A preacher's daughter

[Verse 3]
D
I took him to the brink
F# G F#
He forgave me at the kitchen sink
Em7 A
Like an altar, I laid all my burdens down
D
And the day that he passed on
G
I lost a little piece of God
Em7 A
But I see his smile in the son that I have now
[Chorus]
D G
Oh, preacher's daughter, I love my father
Em7 A
Turned wine from water in my eyes
D G
Bound together, heaven's treasure
F# Em7 A F# G D
I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
F# G
A preacher's daughter
