Verse 1
Am 
I once knew a preacher
Who was tall, quiet, and lean
And on his hip, he wore a gun
E 
Like none I'd ever seen
Am 
When challenged by a fast gun
He would beg him not to draw
Then the gun would leap into his hand

Verse 2
And fire, before he saw
Am 
C 
The Heartline Special
Ran true to it's name
Am 
The bullet was pushed forward by
an orange streak of flame
F 
And just before the death each
C 
man would get his just reward
Am 
And to this day,
E 
Am 
I think it was the right hand of the Lord

Verse 3
Am 
His reputation spread around
E 
Am 
like the charge of a brigade
And it fell upon the ears of
E 
the artists of the trade
Am 
And fast gunslingers rode for miles
and came in by the score
They were there to try to beat the man
E 
Am 
that killed the man that wore

Verse 4
Am 
C 
The Heartline Special
Ran true to it's name
Am 
The bullet was pushed forward by
an orange streak of flame
F 
And just before the death each
C 
man would get his just reward
Am 
And to  this day,
E 
Am 
I think it was the right hand of the Lord

Verse 5
Am 
At night down on his bended
E 
Am 
knees with tears upon his face
He begged the Lord to send another
E 
man to take his place
Am 
When challenged by a gunman,
his Bible he would kiss
And it seemed to guide the hand that
E 
held the gun that never missed
Am 

Verse 6
C 
The Heartline Special
Ran true to it's name
Am 
The bullet was pushed forward by
an orange streak of flame

C

And to this day,
E 
Am 
I think it was the right hand of the Lord
And to this day,
E 
Am 
I think it was the right hand of the Lord
