D 
He  (D major) taught all about salvation
G

to the  (G major) Sunday congrega (D major) tion

he was a humble  (G major) man

No  (G major) pistol -packin' creature

Just a little bit  (A major) north of  (D major) town

He ripped the town of bad men,
and the evil that they bring
A 
He  (A major) nursed the sick, he saved the souls,

he  (E major) didn't spare the bride
He built a church upon the hill,
B
