intro (G, C, G, D, G) X 2

   G                          C                    G
My daddy was a sinner, but my mother was a saintly person
                                             D                G
But I ruined my life by drinking, bad wives, taking pills and cursing
                              C             G
Rock n roll you crucified me, left me all alone
                                          D                 G
I never should have turned my back on the old folks back at home

G           (GG)
Give me that    Church of the Holy Spook,
(CC) C
     Church of the Holy Spook,
(GG) G
     Church of the Holy Spook,
D                    G
It's good enough for me
G
It was good for my dear old Daddy
       C              G
And my dear old Mammy too
            (GG)
Give me that    Church of the Holy Spook,
D                    G
I don't need nothing new

intro riff (G, C, G, D,G) X 2

solo (over verse)

I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook, I believe that he's in me
The Tao is like a river , so float along with me
When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost is boiling in my veins
I think of Jesus on the cross and I scream out for his pain

Chorus X 2
