[G] They put us in the [Dm] cop car and I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, can I [E] take a picture?
They didn't [N] like it.
Here's what the deal was.
They didn't tell me I was [A] opening for a Christian group
[Abm] called Ponte Grey.
And they said, [N] we need you to sing a hymn while you're on stage.
And I said, no hymn.
[D] I [G] said, don't worry, my daddy was a preacher.
[D]
So anyway, I said, I just wrote this tune called Holy Water and I think it's a gospel, that sounds like a gospel tune to [Eb] me.
And they said that'd be [E] lovely, because that's how they say it down there.
[Am] Anyway, this is what [D] happens.
Y'all can sing along with that first part.
[G] [Dm] You're a merry, jingling [D] breeze
[G] How sweet [D] the sound
That saved a wretch [A] like me
[D] I once was lost, [G] but now [D] I'm found
I [Bm] once was blind, but [A]
[D] now [G] I see
[D]
[G] Father, [C] [G]
[D]
[C] [G]
[F] [D]
[G] Father, hear my confession
I ain't had a prayer [Dm] in way too many years
Mary, I ain't seen her face
[C] She said her name, her brother [G] Grace
That's how I wound up at your place
[D] It's in your idea
Now [G]
[D] my head now, [G] thought I did it all down
Though there's just something about [D] bringing home the blues
I can't resist a real good [G] time
I swear I'm not the cheeky kind
But once again I find myself [Dm] with nothing left to lose
[G] I need salvation in a bottle
I need redemption [D] in a bag
I [G] need your nondescript proof of forgiveness
Cause [D] I've only made it bad
Left [Gm] Mary, [G] burned, she boxed up
This old girl just had [Bb] enough
I'm waiting here at [A] the altar [F] for that [D] holy water
[C] Yeah!
[G]
[D]
[G]
[D] Just keep on coming, [G] I don't wanna feel nothing
Unless you got something to [Dm] change my ways
I'm the patron saint of bad [G] goodbyes
Heartbreak proof and twelve feet high
Don't bother saving me tonight
[D] It's too late, [G] I got salvation in a bottle
Seek forgiveness, [D] show me the way
I [G] need your nondescript proof of forgiveness
Cause [Dm] I've only made it bad
Left [C] Mary, burned, she boxed [G] up
This old girl just had [Bb] enough
I'm just waiting here at [A] the altar for that [Dm] holy water
[G] Salvation in a bottle
Sweet redemption
[D] I [G] need your nondescript proof of forgiveness

[G] Left Mary, burned, she boxed up
This old girl just had [Bb] enough
And I'm waiting here at [A] the altar for that holy [D] water
[G]
