D                             A                      G 
The best years of his life is what he gave to you 
D                          A            G 
Never late a day he's been faithful and true 
D                               A               G 
putting out the tombstones and digging down the graves 
D                               A                     G            Em 
for over thirty years now and I can't believe you have the nerve to say 
                G                     D 
That now you're gonna have to cut his pay 
                  A               G       D 
'cause one of your priests did such an awful thing 

D                                    A                    G 
Lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why don't you strike them down 
D                                      A                 G 
for what they did they deserve to be a black spot on the ground 
D                            A              G 
And if there is a god living up there in the clouds 
D                                A       G         Em 
I can't imagine a better time to show his wrath than now 
                       G                        D 
Somehow these monsters all seem higher than the law 
          A        G            D 
They won't see any punishment at all 

D                                 A           G 
He didn't give a damn about your god or your church 
D                                 A              G 
He was just an honest man looking for some honest work 
D                             A                   G 
And in his little finger he's got more purity 
D                                A         G        Em 
than a whole church load full of your child molesting priests 
                     G                              D 
It seems that you're making him pay for the guilty sins 
       A                    G         D 
Thirty years and that's the thanks he gets 

D                                      A           G 
Well it's hard to imagine there could be a greater sin 
D                         A         G 
than using your trust for abusing a kid 
D                              A               G 
As hard as it may seem, well I think that there is 
    D                       A               G        Em 
and you're committing it by protecting these old evil men 
              G                    D 
And if there really is a judgement day 
       A            G           D 
you're gonna have a whole lot to explain
