Bm A Em Bm 
Well Brother John went down to the garden
Bm A Bm
On a long hot summer's day
Bm A Em Bm
To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows
Bm A Bm
As she worked the time away
A D
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire
G F#sus4 F#
And a body to drive men crazy
Bm Em
It was on that day there would be a change
A Bm A Bm A Bm
In the world of Brother John

Bm A Em Bm
She felt his eyes and she walked up beside him
Bm A Bm
And she took him by the hand
Bm A Em Bm
She said, "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy
Bm A Bm
Would you like to be a man?
A D
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall
G F#sus4 F#
If you're there we will find out together"
Bm Em
And the Devil said, "There's a place in Hell
A Bm 
For the soul of Brother John"

G D 
Hallelujah, temptation is here
A Bm D
It's not a dream anymore
G D
Hallelujah, it's finally here
F#sus4 F#
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Bm A Bm A 

Bm A Em Bm
Well Brother John lay tossing and turning
Bm A Bm
In his bed in the heat of the night
Bm A Em Bm
He heard his name and he went to the window
Bm A Bm
Where she was in the pale moonlight
A D
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny
G F#sus4 F#
He was lost to her body forever
Bm Em
And the Devil laughed and the angels cried
A Bm
For the soul of Brother John

G D 
Hallelujah, temptation is here
A Bm D
It's not a dream anymore
G D
Hallelujah, it's finally here
F#sus4 F#
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Bm Em Bm A
Bm A Bm A 
Bm A Bm A 

G D 
Hallelujah, temptation is here
A Bm D
It's not a dream anymore
G D
Hallelujah, it's finally here
F#sus4 F#
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting!
