Verse 1:

Dm C
Last night your smile fell upon my lonely room
Dm C
I touched your Brylcreemed hair and smelled your pipe's perfume
Gm Dm
Your eyes were filled with dots the way they used to be
Gm Dm G [N.C.]
Your gentle Slack reached out to comfort me

Dm
Then came the dawn
C#m
My money was gone
G F Eb [N.C.]
It was gone, gone, gone

Chorus:

Dm G
I had too much to preach last night
Dm G
Too much to preach
Dm G
I'm not ready to face the CON
Dm A
I had too much to preach
Dm C Bb C
Last night
Dm C Bb C
Last night

Verse 2:

My bowels were empty as I staggered to my Throne,
I could not bear the Yeti blood throbbing in my bone
Behind your shining teeth I could see the Joke
And then you raised your pipe for me to smoke

Then came the dawn
My money was gone
It was gone, gone, gone

[repeat chorus 2X]

Coda:

(C) D C Bb C
Oh, too much to preach
Oh, too much to preach
Too much to preach last night
Oh, too much to preach [repeat to fade]

[Note: the coda is in D major; listen to the rhythm guitar
(heavily-tremoloed part in right channel) to hear this]
