Intro

F C Dm C

Verse

FI'm seven years old, and my bCow-ties askew

 Gonna get some Dmbody of Jesus Christ

 In a Cbrown velvet suit

 All the gFirls are dressed like angels

 How sCweetly they sang

 Oh Dmbe not afraid of

 us Cdelicate meringues

Chorus

 The tA♯railing skirts of GFod

 The tA♯railing skirts of GFod

 The tA♯railing skirts of GFod

 Have passed on Cby

Verse

It's five years later and I'm on my knees again

I am here to confirm what my parents began

And I promise to abstain from intoxicating liquor

But the flesh, it is weak,

and my faith was never stronger

Chorus

The trailing skirts of God

The trailing skirts of God

Yeah, The trailing skirts of God

Have passed on by

Bridge

 But Dmoh how I cling Con

 Cos Dmit's been a rich seam of Csong

 And Dmthough it's make-Fbelieve

 Can I Cbring myself to Dmleave

 This Dmlie's been Cburning too Flong

Verse

Sometimes in my teens

Up in Kellyer's bedroom

Skipping on Saturday evening mass for some solvent abuse

As the world spun around me,

and I eased to the floor

Must remember to get that sermon,

and keep the wolf from the door

Chorus

 Yeah, The A♯trailing skirts of FGod

 The A♯trailing skirts of FGod

 Those A♯trailing skirts of FGod Have passed on Cby

 Passed on BCy, Passed on CBy, Passed on CBy

Outro

FI've drifted far from Cyou

 In this bloodless Dmcoup

 I've drifted far from Cyou

FI've drifted far from Cyou

 In this bloodless Dmcoup

 I say good-day and Cadieu
