[Bm]Wel[A]l [Em]Bro[Bm]ther John went down to the garden
[Bm]On [A]a [Bm]long hot summer's day
[Bm]To [A]wa[Em]tch[Bm] that girl, he would hide in the shadows
[Bm]As [A]sh[Bm]e worked the time away
[A]Wi[D]th her long black hair and her eyes of fire
[G]An[F#sus4]d a bod[F#]y to drive men crazy
[Bm]It [Em]was on that day there would be a change
[A]In[Bm] th[A]e [Bm]wor[A]ld[Bm] of Brother John
[Bm]She[A] f[Em]elt[Bm] his eyes and she walked up beside him
[Bm]And[A] s[Bm]he took him by the hand
[Bm]She[A] s[Em]aid[Bm], "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy
[Bm]Wou[A]ld[Bm] you like to be a man?
[A]I [D]will meet you tonight at the monastery wall
[G]If[F#sus4] you're[F#] there we will find out together"
[Bm]And[Em] the Devil said, "There's a place in Hell
[A]Fo[Bm]r the soul of Brother John"
[G]Ha[D]llelujah, temptation is here
[A]It[Bm]'s [D]not a dream anymore
[G]Ha[D]llelujah, it's finally here
[F#sus4]I've be[F#]en waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
[Bm] [A] [Bm] [A]
[Bm]Wel[A]l [Em]Bro[Bm]ther John lay tossing and turning
[Bm]In [A]hi[Bm]s bed in the heat of the night
[Bm]He [A]he[Em]ard[Bm] his name and he went to the window
[Bm]Whe[A]re[Bm] she was in the pale moonlight
[A]Oh[D] the sins of the flesh are too much to deny
[G]He[F#sus4] was lo[F#]st to her body forever
[Bm]And[Em] the Devil laughed and the angels cried
[A]Fo[Bm]r the soul of Brother John
[G]Ha[D]llelujah, temptation is here
[A]It[Bm]'s [D]not a dream anymore
[G]Ha[D]llelujah, it's finally here
