Chords for Roky Erickson - Creature with the Atom Brain 1980

You know, it's real strange, but I'd be in church, you know, and _ there would be certain songs that would just knock me out, like Oh Holy Night, and it just, you just, like some rock and roll song, man, like plugging in your favorite station, you know.
_ _ Speaking of church and all of that, what kind of, you know, if it's not intriguing too much, what kind of spiritual or religious background did you have?
Well, I've gone through three changes.
I thought I was a Christian, then I was with the devil, you know, where I signed my soul to the devil, and then, you know, Bird has copies of it, you know, where I did, and then the third one where I know who I am, you know, I feel like I'm a monster.
I feel like I'm the, like I know I'm the robe of many colors spoke of in the Bible.
In other words, a demon, a gremlin, a goblin, a vampire, a ghost, _ and an alien, you know, with a brain about this big.
