Intro 1
(C major) (G major)
Verse 1
There's (A minor) (C major) a bingo
game every (F major) Friday night
at St. (C major) Catharine's Where Aunt
(F major) Betty rubs her bead (G major) s
while she's dobbin' B7 (C major)
But when the (F major) Sunday services
roll (G major) s around,
Betty's (C major) nowhere to be seen (F major)
Sometimes religion
scares (C major) the (G major) hell out of (C major) me. (G major)
(C major) Now, (G major) when (C major) I was a kid,
I (F major) worked at a radio station. (C major)
Sunday morn (F major) ings,
the preachers bought time (G major)
and they preached salvation (C major) live.
I saw a (F major) -shoutin' and spittin',
Bible -beltin' (G major)
and a -hissin' preachers' faces
turn (C major) in' red as (G major) a bee. (F major)
Sometimes religion
(C major) scares the (G major) hell out of (C major) me.
Here we go, folks.
Say amen. (F major)
Say hallelu (C major) jah.
Speak in tongues. (F major)
If it suit (G major) s you, very good.
I'm scarred (C major) for life
after watching (F major) that nun fly around (C major)
on my TV. (A minor)
Sometimes religion
scares (C major) the (G major) hell out of (C major) me.
(G major) Now (C major) (G major) there are (C major) churches
here in the (F major) South
that take up the (G major) serpent. (C major)
Check your (F major) hat at the door
and bring (G major) your python to worship. (C major)
If there's a (F major) rattle in the pew,
you (G major) better think twice
before (C major) you take your seat. (F major) (C major) (F major)
Sometimes religion
(C major) scares the (G major) hell out of (C major) me.
Here we go.
Say, Amen. (F major)
Say, Hallelujah.
(C major) Drop some coin (F major) s,
and he'll heal (G major) you if there's
a (C major) scarier person
than Tammy Faye (F major) Baker that's
(C major) someone I'd like to see. (F major)
Sometimes religion
scares (C major) the (G major) hell out of (C major) me.
One more verse. (G major)
Now in (C major) Rome, these days,
you can (F major) get a little swag at the (C major) Vatican.
You got your Pope (F major) pictures,
Pope soap, Pope hat (G major) s,
hell, he might even autograph them. (C major)
My (F major) brother Earl said, Bill, (G major)
you think that Pope (C major) Moat
Beetle's got a hemi?
See, sometimes (F major) Earl (C major) scares
the (G major) hell out of (C major) me. (G major) (C major)
So say Amen. (F major)
Say Hallelujah.
(C major) It's the Gospel truth
(F major) I'm singing to (G major) you.
Well, I'm (C major) just a humble songwriter, (F major)
Lord, not try (C major) ing to commit blasphemy.
(F major) But sometimes religion, (C major)
some (F major) times religion,
(C major) Every (F major) now and then
religion (C major) scares the (G major) hell out of (C major) me.
