Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
 D                                                         A                                           G 
The best years of his life is what he gave to you
 D                                                   A                       G 
Never late a day he's been faithful and true
 D                                                             A                             G 
putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves
 D                                                             A                                         G                       Em 
for over thirty years now and I can't believe you have the nerve to say
                                 G                                         D 
That now you're gonna have to cut his pay
                                     A                             G             D 
'cause one of your priests did such an awful thing
 D                                                                       A                                       G 
Lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why don't you strike them down
 D                                                                           A                                 G 
for what they did they deserve to be a black spot on the ground
 D                                                       A                           G 
And if there is a god living up there in the clouds
 D                                                               A             G                 Em 
I can't imagine a better time to show his wrath than now
                                               G                                               D 
Somehow these monsters all seem higher than the law
                     A               G                       D 
They won't see any punishment at all
 D                                                                 A                     G 
He didn't give a damn about your god or your church
 D                                                                 A                           G 
He was just an honest man looking for some honest work
 D                                                         A                                     G 
And in his little finger he's got more purity
 D                                                               A                 G               Em 
than a whole church load full of your child molesting priests
                                           G                                                           D 
It seems that you're making him pay for the guilty sins
               A                                       G                 D 
Thirty years and that's the thanks he gets
 D                                                                           A                     G 
Well it's hard to imagine there could be a greater sin
 D                                                 A                 G 
than using your trust for abusing a kid
 D                                                           A                             G 
As hard as it may seem, well I think that there is
         D                                             A                             G               Em 
and you're committing it by protecting these old evil men
                             G                                       D 
And if there really is a judgement day
               A                       G                     D 
you're gonna have a whole lot to explain
