"Your Church"

I realize this is lengthy - but it was just itching to get out of me . . . consider it a folkie manifesto in the old tradition of rambling musical rants.

{st:by, James McCormick, February 1, 2007}

Your [C]church may have a dance floor, it might be [F]stars up in the [C]sky
Your [G]church it might be right between your [F]lover's beautiful [C]thighs
Your [C]church might actually be a church, now [F]there's a crazy thought
Your [G]church might be inside your home with all that [G7]stupid crap you [C]bought
. . . .
Your [Am]church might be the dream to make it [F]really big some-[G]day
Your [Am]church might be the next big deal for [D]which you will get [G]paid
Your [C]church might be a place to go for [F]refuge from the fray
Your [G]church might be your special place where [G7]crying is O-[C]K
{soc}
[F]Everybody goes to [C]church somehow,
Our pri-[F]orities are [C]prayers
[F]What we do is [C]what we pray
We all [G]go to church somewhere  [C7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church might be a library, a [F]studio or a [C]lab
Your [G]church might be out upon the streets or [F]maybe in re-[C]hab
Your [C]church it might be popular, or just [F]you all on your own
Your [G]church might be the internet, or [G7]yacking on the [C]phone
. . . .
Your [Am]church might be a place that's [F]filled with song and [G]light
Your [Am]church it might be a secret group that [D]dances in the [G]night
Your [C]church might be a bunch of folks who [F]know the end is near
Your [G]church might just be a bunch of folks who [G7]really hate the [C]queers
{soc}
[F]Everybody has [C]got a church
Every-[F]body has a [C]creed
[F]Everybody's got a [C]church somewhere
That [G]gives them what they need  [C7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church might have a rabbi, a [F]mullah, or a [C]priest
Your [G]church might be some preacher who is [F]on TV each [C]week
Your [C]church might be a titty bar with [F]strippers on the prowl
Your [G]church might be that rooftop where you [G7]go to scream and [C]howl.
. . . . .
Your [Am]church might be belief in the [F]cold empirical [G]fact
Your [Am]church it might be a drug that [D]keeps your mind in-[G]tact
Your [C]church might be a journey a [F]never-ending quest
Your [G]church might be just you alone [G7]trying to do your [C]best
{soc}
[F]People always [C]find a way
To [F]get the fun they [C]crave
[F]Doing what comes [C]naturally
Some-[G]times might seem depraved  [C7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church might be a hunting stand [F]just before the [C]dawn
Your [G]church might be a perfect green [F]big suburban [C]lawn
Your [C]church might be your family with [F]all your kith and kin
Your [G]church might be a prison that [G7]you are locked with-[C]in
. . . .
Your [Am]church it might be just a place to [F]meet your friends and [G]talk
Your [Am]church might be the scenery as you [D]take your dog for a [G]walk
Your [C]church might be a nightmare fueled by [F]brimstone and by [C]fire
Your [G]church it might be just the place to [G7]feed your base de-[C]sires
{soc}
[F]Some folks they are [C]shallow
Some [F]folks they are [C]deep
[F]Some folks just go [C]through thier life
[G]Being half asleep  [G7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church it might have fairways a-[F]long with putting greens
Your [G]church might be a little tent with [F]placid mountain [C]scenes
Your [C]church it might encourage you to [F]use your mind and think
Your [G]church might be a wacky cult ex-[G7]isting on the [C]brink
. . . .
Your [Am]church it might be a place to be [F]buried with great [G]pride
Your [Am]church might be somewhere with your [D]loved ones at your [G]side
Your [C]church might be building where [F]go every once in a while
Your [G]church might be the basis of your [G7]personal life-[C]style
{soc}
Your [F]church might have a [C]steeple,
It might [F]have a happy [C]hour

It [F]may be way out [C]in the woods
Or [G]up an ivory tower
{eoc}
Your [C]church it might be politics and [F]all the big e-[C]vents
Your [G]church might be catastrophes you're [F]trying to pre-[C]vent
Your [C]church might be the local pub that's [F]down the road a ways
Your [G]church might be those lovers who you [G7]always do be-[C]tray
. . . .
Your [Am]church might be your unit and your [F]nation to de-[G]fend
Your [Am]church might be a theater where you [D]go just to pre-[G]tend
Your [C]church might be the highway in the [F]cab of a semi truck
Your [G]church might be a casino where you [G7]go to test your [C]luck
{soc}
Your [F]church might have a [C]minaret,
It might [F]have some statues [C]too
What [F]matters most is not [C]where it is
But [G]what you really do  [G7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church might be a stadium with [F]crowds all in a [C]roar
Your [G]church might be a prostitute, a [F]crack-addicted [C]whore
Your [C]church might be a feeling, living [F]memories of the past
Your [G]church might be to seek revenge and be [G7]bitter to the [C]last
. . . .
Your [Am]church might where you go when you [F]feel the need to con-[G]fess
Your [Am]church might be the place to go to show [D]off that brand new [D]dress
Your [C]church might be upon a stool in your [F]favorite night spot
Your [G]church it might be governed by a [G7]pompous old des-[C]pot
{soc}
Do you [F]make our world a [C]better place,
Do you [F]help those who do [C]need?
Do you [F]treat your fellow [C]humans
With [G]friendly dignity?  [G7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church might be a fantasy a [F]big utopian [C]dream
Your [G]church might be a conspiracy a-[F]gainst the powers that [C]be
Your [C]church might be a place to grow a [F]place to truly learn
Your [G]church might the kind of place where [G7]books are piled and [C]burned
. . . .

Your [Am]church might be the spot to meet some-[D]body post di-[G]vorce
Your [C]church might be where children first dis-[F]cover shame and guilt
Your [G]church might be a monument that [G7]shame and guilt have [C]built
{soc}
[F]Everybody has [C]got to find
A [F]place where they can [C]be
[F]Anything can [C]be a church
But [C]you might not agree  [G7]
{eoc}
Your [C]church might be the place to [F]set your mind at [C]ease
Your [G]church it might your ec-[F]centrici-[C]ties
Your [C]church might be your happy [F]home away from home
Your [G]church it might be anyplace that [G7]you choose to [C]roam
. . . .
Your [Am]church might be an ideal place to [F]ponder chance and [G]fate
Your [Am]church might be the perfect place to [D]meet your future [G]mate
Your [C]church it might be ancient, or be [F]brand spanking new
Your [G]church it can be anything that [G7]means the most to [C]you.
