Tom: A
A Am7
My daddy had a Cadillac, my uncle drove a Ford
D A
One was Satan's angel and one worked for the Lord
A Am7
They had some hard earned wisdom, they both became my teachers
D A
I was a young disciple of pimps and preachers
A Am7 D A
A Am7
The school of life was open, each day I went to class
D A
When I didn't pay attention, they kicked me in the ass
A Am7
They were turning out young bitches and converting non-believers
D A
I was learning from the masters, pimps and preachers
[Chorus]
D
One drug me through the darkness
A
One led me to the light
E
One showed me how to love
A
One taught me how to fight
D A G D G D
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
A E
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
A Am7 D A
[Verse]
A Am7
They kept me under their wings but when I passed the test
D A
They gave me a pinstriped suit and pushed me from the nest
A Am7
Now I'm standing on the corner, recruiting hungry seekers
D A
I'm starting a new religion, I call it pimps and preachers
[Chorus]
D
One drug me through the darkness
A
One led me to the light
E
One showed me how to love
A
One taught me how to fight
D A G D G D
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
A E A
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
[Solo]
D A E A
D A D G D G D
A E A
A Am7 D A
[Verse]
A Am7
Stand there and do nothing but if you want to go far
D A
Don't try to please everybody and be proud of who you are
A Am7
Get out there in the game, don't sit up in the bleachers
D A
That is the philosophy of pimps and Preachers
[Chorus]
D
One drug me through the darkness
A
One led me to the light
E
One showed me how to love
A
One taught me how to fight
D A G D G D
I guess you can say I am an overachiever
A E A
And I owe a debt of gratitude to pimps and preachers
