[Verse 1]
C   D Bb            G
 Hey, you sinners
C             G
 Open all the doors
C     D Bb               G
 Have I got news for you
           C                      G
About that money loving preach of yours

[Verse 2]
C       D            Bb                 G
 Friday night you'll find him taking pictures
C                G
 Of a model in a cheap hotel
C       D            Bb                 G
 Sunday morning he's raving from the pulpit
           C                  G
Threatening to send us all to hell, well, well

[Chorus]
D            G
 Don't throw, don't throw
D                G
 Don't throw any stones
   D                 G
If you can't live by what you teach
D                G
 You better leave alone
D            G
 Don't throw, don't throw
D                G
 Don't throw any stones
D                    G
 Unless you practice what you preach
D                  G
 You'll never find love

 Well, you never can tell
C       D           Bb                G
 The glory train is leaving in the morning
        C                           G
But the preacher's there to say farewell, well, well
