[Bm] The brother John [Em] went down to [Bm] the garden on a long hot [A] summer's [Bm] day
To watch that girl he [Em] would hide in [Bm] the shadows as she worked [A] the time [Bm] away
With [A] her long black hair and [D] her eyes of fire and [G] a body to drive [F#] men crazy
It [Bm] was on that day there [Em] would be a change in [A] the world of brother [Bm] John
Yeah
She felt his eyes and [Em] she walked up beside [Bm] him and she took [A] him by the [Bm] hand
She said, brother John it's [Em] so hard to [Bm] be holy, don't you like [A] to be [Bm] a man?
I [A] will meet you tonight at [D] the monastery wall, if [G] you're there we will find out [F#] together
Heaven [Bm]
says there's [Em] a place in hell for [A] the soul of brother [Bm] John

[Bm] The brother John [Em] lay tossing [Bm] and turning in his bed [A] in the heat [Bm] of the night
[D] [Bm] He heard his name and [Em] he went to [Bm] the window, there she was [A] in the clear [Bm] moonlight
For [A] the sins of the flesh are [D] too much to deny, he [G] was lost to her body [F#] for ever
[Bm] And [Em] the angels cried for [A] the soul of brother [Bm]
John
He [G]
[D] said it's not
[A] a dream anymore
