Take Me To Church -the Tonight Show by Hozier

Take Me To Church -the Tonight Show chords by Hozier

Chords with lyrics

this is a tricky one,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFROH_nzqfE

its actually on a baritone acoustic tuned to Chord diagramBB and played with a capo on 3
if you downtune every string a tone to DGCFAD you can play it normally,
alternatively you can stay in standard tuning and transpose - 2
and play with a dm, (wont be as deep but might work ok)


Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramE minorEm
My lover's got humour
            Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G
She's the giggle at a funeral
            Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramE minorEm
Knows everybody's disapproval
              Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramE minorEm
I should've worshipped her sooner
           Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramE minorEm
If the Heavens ever did speak
           Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G

           Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramE minorEm
My church offers no absolutes
               Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
             Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramE minorEm
The only heaven I'll be sent to
          Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramD MajorD

No masters or kings when the ritual begins
    Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramB7B7      Chord diagramE minorEm
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
    Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramB7B7      Chord diagramE minorEm
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
