is a great acoustic version of this song that I based this tab off.
In the chorus a B or B7 is fine depending if you're playing the original or acoustic version.
B7 = x2120x in Hozier's version
A5 = 57xxxx
G5 = 35xxxx
F#5 = 24xxxx
F5 = 13xxxx
Verse 1
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her
sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more
bleak
A fresh poison each week
We were born sick, you heard
them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the
bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Aaaaaaaaaa Aaaaaaamen
Aaaaaamen A - men
Chorus
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the
shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you
can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my
life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the
shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you
can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my
life
Verse 2
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands 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
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the
shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you
can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my
life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the
shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my
life
Bridge
No masters or kings when the
ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence
than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that
sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Oh, a - men A - men Aa-aa-men
Chorus
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the
shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, you can
sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my
life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the
shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you
can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
And good God, let me give you my
life
