🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC           E MajorE
When crowds swarm out doorways
    A minorAm       G+G  C majorC
And the street lamps are lit
FF     E minorEm
One of my disciples
D7D7       G7G7
Begins his wandering
C majorC         E MajorE
In alleys and the main streets
A minorAm       G+G  C majorC
He searches for men
   FF    E minor 7Em7      Dm7Dm7 G+G
Their virile, pathetic, and lame
A minorAm      E minorEm
Leading them in
A minorAm   E minorEm        DmDm
To our establishment he starts to cry
G+G      G7G7
Every night

 Whatever you like

C majorC       E MajorE   E7E7 A minorAm         Gm7Gm7 C majorC
A augmentedA brothel is a business no different than a bank
  FF      E minor 7Em7    D7D7    G+G
As safe and as formal and sanitary
  C majorC           E MajorE  E7E7
My girls all destined for Hell
A minorAm       Gm7Gm7  C majorC
Or so says our priest
  Fmaj7Fmaj7   E minor 7Em7
But find me a Christian
   Dm7Dm7             G+G
Who spends as much time on their knees
A minorAm    E minorEm
Closer to God
   A minorAm    E minorEm      Dm7Dm7
They honor his glory in the best way
G+G
Everyday

🎸 Bridge:
F# minorF#m       B7B7
Without my aid, they'd be in chains
  FF         E7E7
Or disembowelled in a backstreet lane
D#D#             A augmentedA
I'll stop selling when you stop buying
G+G
'Til the end of time you can hear the cry

 Whatever you like

Please, sir, tonight
     C majorC
Follow me tonight"
