Church Hymn For The Condemned by Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains
Church Hymn For The Condemned
Capo:no capo
INTRO: F#m A E B x2
F#m A E B
Life's like the feeling when you had a point but forgot it
F#m A E B
Had a ticket for my train of thought but I lost it
F#m A E B
God gave me instructions on how to live my life
F#m A E B
But I couldn't read his handwriting so I burnt them last night
A E F#m D
But I take the beauty of chaos over ugly perfection
A E F#m D
I've woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
A E F#m D
I can feel myself slipping away from any chance of redemption
A E F#m D
But that's okay 'cause if it's where Falwell goes then I don't even want any
part of heaven
F#m A E B
A guy on TV offered to save my soul toll free
F#m A E B
But that would have required getting up off the couch so I was too lazy
F#m A E B
Instead I wait in the bushes outside of a cop's house holding a twelve gauge
F#m A E B
God isn't dead but I'll get that bastard someday!
A E F#m D
And I take the beauty of my chaos over any one else's perfection
A E F#m D
I've still woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
A E F#m D
Nothing scares me as much as the fact that I don't give a shit for redemption
A E F#m
But that's okay 'cause if it's where Limbaugh goes then I don't even want
D
any part of heaven
OUTTRO: F#m A F#m
Hail Satan!

Had a ticket for my train of thought, but I lost it
God gave me instructions on how to live my life
But I couldn't read his handwriting
So I burnt them last night
[Chorus]
But I'd take the beauty of chaos over ugly perfection
I've woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
I can feel myself slipping away from any chance of redemption
But that's okay, 'cause if that's where Falwell goes
Then I don't even want any part of heaven

Instead I wait in the bushes outside of a cop's house, holding a twelve gauge
God isn't dead, but I'll get that bastard some day!
[Chorus]
And I'd take the beauty of my chaos over anyone else's perfection
I've still woken up on the wrong side of the bed every day since 1987
Nothing scares me as much as the fact that I don't give a shit for redemption
But that's okay, 'cause if that's where Limbaugh goes
Then I don't even want any part of heaven
