***Church of the Holy Spook - by Shane MacGowan
from the album "The Snake"
Church Of The Holy Spook - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
intro (, , , , ) X 2
My daddy was a sinner, but my mother was a saintly person
But I ruined my life by drinking, bad wives, taking pills and cursing
Rock n roll you crucified me, left me all alone
I never should have turned my back on the old folks back at home
(GG)
Give me that Church of the Holy Spook,
(CC)
Church of the Holy Spook,
(GG)
Church of the Holy Spook,
It's good enough for me
It was good for my dear old Daddy
And my dear old Mammy too
(GG)
Give me that Church of the Holy Spook,
I don't need nothing new
intro riff (, , , ,) 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
