Her parents named her halleluiah, 
                              C#min7
the kids all called her holly. 
                                   D 
if she scared you then she's sorry.
                                     F#
she's been stranded at these parties. 
                         G#           
these parties they start lovely 
                           
but they get druggy 
              A
and they get ugly and they get bloody.

[Intro pt.1]
The priest just kinda laughed. 
the deacon caught a draft. 
she crashed into the easter mass                  [same as 1st verse]
with her hair done up in broken glass. 
she was limping left on broken heels. 
when she said father can i tell your congregation 
        [Riff]             [Intro pt.1]
how a resurrection really feels?

[chorus]
Holly was a hoodrat. 
now you finally know that. 
she's been disappeared for years. 
today she finally came back. 

she said: st. louis had enslaved me. 
i guess santa ana saved me. 
st. peter had me on the queue.               [same as 1st verse]
the st. paul saints they waved me through.
I was all wrapped up in some video booth. 
when i heard her say i love you too.

[riff]
[intro pt.1]

She said i've laid beneath my lovers but i've never gotten laid. 
some nites she felt protected. 
some nites she felt afraid.                                 [same as chorus]
she spent half last winter justa trying to get paid. 


they wrote her name in magic marks. 
on stopsigns and subway cars.          [same as chorus]
they got a mural up on e.13th. 
that said halleluiah rest in peace. 

halleluiah was a hoodrat. 
and now you finally know that.         [same as chorus]
she's been disappeared for years.
today she finally came back.

Walk on back.                                [chords from the chorus]
walk on back.                          (or just solo on F# minor pent. scale)
she said don't turn me on again. 
i'd probably just go and get myself all gone again.  
holly was a sexy mess.                 
she looked strung out but experienced. 
so we all got kind of curious.
