Hokum All Ye Faithful by Sycamore Smith
Hokum All Ye Faithful
capo on second fret
B7 played without fourth finger
Intro: Em B7 Am Dm x2
Verse:
Em Am
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the prophet with the perfect soul?
Em B7 Am Dm
The heavenly bastard with his own slasher flick--
C G
The greatest fairytale ever told
Em B7 Am
Weekly he receives
Dm C E7
A kneeling ovation from a sleepy nation
Em B7 Am Dm
They're swallowing the old routine, the holy saltine,
C G
And backwash from the cup of salvation
-----
Chorus:
G Am F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
C E7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
Am F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
C G G7
And he's been resting ever since I guess...
-----
Em B7 Am
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the young man who died for your sins?
Am
You think he would've learned his lesson
Dm
Not to mess with us,
C G
And yet they say he's gonna come again
Em B7 Am
He might've hit a ripe old age
Dm C E7
If a disciple had not failed him
Am Dm
Broken, betrayed and lost, he lay alone on the cross
C G
While the easter bunny pounded the nails in...
-----
Em B7 Am
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the healer who could resurrect?
Am
They say that when he rose from the dead
Dm
He had a flattened head,
C G
Black boots and two bolts in his neck
E7 Am
Hokum all ye faithful,
Dm C G
That's the whole fable as I was told it
E7 Am Dm
Honestly I'm half-way jealous of the gullible zealots
C G
Who believe this unbelievable bullshit...

Outro:
