Take Me to Church Hozier
This a my tab for Hozier's "Take Me to Church". It's my first tab and I know its
not perfect, but it sounds close enough.
When playing the verses I think it sounds closer if you kinda pick the B and A/E
(depending on chords) strings while holding the chord shapes.
Anyway its a great song- and enjoy playing it.
[Em]My lover's got [Am]humo[Em]ur
She's the giggle at a [Am]fun'[G]ral
Knows everybody's [Am]disappro[Em]val
I should've worshipped her [Am]soon[Em]er
If the Heavens ever [Am]did speak[Em]
She is the last true [Am]mouth p[G]iece
Every Sunday's getting more[Am] blea[Em]k
A fresh poison [Am]each week[D]
We were born sick,[C] you heard them s[G]ay it[Em]
My church offers no abs[Am]olutes[Em]
She tells me 'worship in the [Am]bedroo[G]m'
The only heaven I'll be [Am]sent [Em]to
Is when I'm alone wit[Am]h yo[D]u
I was born sick[C], but I love it
Command me to be well
A-A-a[G]men. [C]A-a[G]men. [Cm]A-a[G]men
(Chorus x2)
[G] [F#] [F#] Ta[F]ke me to [Em]church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your [Bm]lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your [G]knife
Offer me that d[Am]eathless death
Good [Em]God, let me give you my life
(Bridge G F# F# F Em)
(Repeat for song)
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
(Chorus x2)
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No [C]masters or [G]kings when the [B7]ritual beg[Em]ins
There is [C]no sweeter [G]innocence than [B7]our gentle [Em]sin
In the [C]madness and [G]soil of that [B7]sad earthly sc[Em]ene
Only t[C]hen I am hu[G]man
Only t[B7]hen I am cl[Em]ean
A-A-a[G]men. [C]A-a[G]men. [Cm]A-a[G]men
(Chorus to end)
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Finish on Em
