Dm C Bb
[Verse 1]
D
It’s like a magic
A
I've got to have it
Bb
Whatever lies out of reach of me
D
And to despise it
A
Just magnifies it
Bb
Can't obliterate the need
Bm
Bad news disguised
Em
Dressed and painted with lies (but I just can't see)
Bm
When truth is concealed
Em
How the danger appeals but my conscience sees
[Chorus]
D
I heard it from the preacher man
C G
He said leave that boy alone (he's no good for you)
D
I heard it from the preacher man
C
He said heaven must have sent you
G
But the devil's gonna get you
A5
He's gonna do it for you
[Verse 2]
D
You're like a black cat
A
Who always knows that
Bb
It's life is a mystery
D
You mesmerise me
A
And then you hypnotise me
Bb
Till obsession devours me
Bm
You're silky words soothe me as they move me
Em
To ecstasy
Bm
And just as I'm falling
Em
I hear a voice calling don't believe
[Chorus]
D
I heard it from the preacher man
C G
He said leave that boy alone (he's no good for you)
D
I heard it from the preacher man
C
He said heaven must have sent you
G
But the devil's gonna get you
Bb5
He's gonna do it for you
