Verse 1
(C major) I used (G major) (Asus4) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (Asus4) (G major) to
(C major) get up in the morning,
serve six (G major) o 'clock mass
The (Asus4) fear of the
Lord did abound
(G major) It was the (C major) smell of the incense,
the (G major) sacrament wine
Old (Asus4) wo men in pews with
their head (G major) s bowed down
And a (C major) hungover priest in a
(B minor) tattered black (G major) casket
Recit (Asus4) ing the
Latin so old
(G major) He said, (C major) son, you're gonna walk
on your knees (G major) one day
Down the (Asus4) long miles of purgatory road (D major)
Well it (C major) might have been
Susan, it (G major) might have been
Annie
She (Asus4) wore a white cotton blouse (G major)
And she memorized (C major) modern
youth and (G major) chastity
Said it's a (Asus4) mortal sin if
we kiss (G major) on the mouth
If we (C major) died in a car wreck
on (G major) our way home
We'd be (Asus4) damned with this sin on our soul
(G major) But we (C major) closed our eyes and (G major) sealed our fate
In the (Asus4) wet grass of
Purgatory
Road (D major)
Somewhere (C major) between
sundown and midnight
We made (G major) our first wish on a star
That (C major) all of our sins would vanish behind
That
(G major) Chevrolet getaway car
Somewhere (D major) (E minor) between
heaven and heartache
Out (B minor) where the buses don't roll (C major)
We (G major) lay down in the wild (D major) asparagus
(E minor) That (G major) (C major) grew along
Pur (D major) gatory
Road (G major) (C major) (G major)
(Asus4) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(Asus4) (G major)
Well,
(C major) Susan, or
Annie, had a (G major) vision one night
With the (Asus4) sign of the
cross she was gone (G major)
And the (C major) old wisdom priest,
he died (G major) of old age
But the (Asus4) church rattled and clattered and
rolled (G major) a blop on
As we (C major) ran and we wrestled with the (G major) fear of
our
Lord
But the (Asus4) guilt and desire
took their hold (G major)
From when the (C major) sins of the
flesh were a (G major) whisper away
In the (Asus4) wet grass of
purgatory roamed (D major)
Somewhere (C major) between
sundown and midnight
We made (G major) our first wish on a star
(D major) That (C major) all of our sins would vanish behind
That
Chevrolet (G major) getaway car
Somewhere (E minor) between
heaven and heartache
Out (B minor) where the buses don't roll (C major)
We lay down (G major) in the wild (D major) asparagus
(E minor) That (C major) grew along
Pur (D major) gatory
Road (G major)
We lay down in the (D major) wild asparagus
(E minor) That (G major) (C major) grew along
Pur (D major) gatory
Road (G major) (E minor) (D major) (C major) (G major)
You
Purgatory Road
