Hi!

I  figured out the  chords  for this  song  on  my  synth. It sounds
best  with  a deep  brass section.  I  guess  you  can use  the  same chords
for  the  guitar too.  Here are the  notes  that  I  play for  these
chords:

  o r        r t:
----------------------
 -    
(ii) +second inversion+ -     
 -    
 -    
 -    
 -    
  -    
(i) +first  inversion+ -   
 -   
(?) -   
(i) +first inversion+ -   


                        I t ' s    A    S i n
                        +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

            (ii)       
  When I look back upon my life
                            
  It's always with a sense of shame
                            
  I've always been the one to blame
         (ii)          
  For everything I long to do
                           
  No matter when or where or who
                         
  Has one thing in common, too

                        [Really fast]:     (ii) 
     It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
                   (ii)
     It's a sin
     
     Everything I've ever done
     
     Everything I ever do
     
     Every place I've ever been
     (higher)
     Everywhere I'm going to
     It's a sin


At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

     It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
     It's a sin
     Everything I've ever done
     Everything I ever do
     Every place I've ever been
     Everywhere I'm going to
     It's a sin


                   (i)
  Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
                                     (?)
  Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
                       (i)
  Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
                               
  Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
        (?)             (i)
  And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

     It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
     It's a sin
     Everything I've ever done
     Everything I ever do
     Every place I've ever been
     Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
     It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
     It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

While he's saying  this stuff,  play   the  notes  to the  chords
Cm and Fm(ii) really fast with  an  extra C  at  the end of each chord.
Play it in progression.

(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,
verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)
          [trans.     "I confess to almighty God,
               and to you my brothers,
               that I have sinned exceedingly
               in thought, word, act and omission,
               through my fault, through my fault,
               through my most grievous fault"]

(Zero!)
