La Sacrilege' from Joyland by Bill Burge

D D6
while away on vacation on a hike through the woods
Gmaj7 G6
minding my own business just checking out the hood
Em Em7
I smelled something odd so I stopped and looked around
F#m F#m7 F#m A7
I didn’t see damn thing I didn’t hear a single sound

I continued on my way just taking in the sights
when it stepped out of the trees about ten feet in height
long red-brown hair from head to giant feet
the size of three footballs it paused and took a seat

So, I too sat down and we started to chat
about politics and Beethoven just chewing the fat
could have talked there for hours maybe even day
when the tops of the trees were glowing with a bright blue light haze

Bm Chorus
the light penetrated the trees the ground began to shake
A
I was floating up towards the sky I was praying that I’d awake
G
but I wasn’t in a dream and the next thing I know
F#m A A7
I’m inside a room with walls that seemed to glow

surrounded by some greys huge heads and large dark eyes
I couldn’t move a finger surely facing my demise
I was laying on a table one held a long steele rod
it began slowly inserting up the nether regions of my bod

Well I must have passed out 'cause when I awoke
three days had gone by and my glasses were broke
I was back in my car where my adventure began
I never told a soul from fear I’d be banned

Too fantastic to be true? this tale that I weave
now hold on there Buckoo didn’t you say you believe
in a ghost that is Holy, it’s Father and his Son
a trinity of entities that aren’t three but somehow one?

Chorus
who created all we know and see in less than seven days
is everywhere all at once yet invisible to our gaze
this you can believe without question without doubt
for me myth based in science is a more reliable route

verse chords
Is there a moral to this tale that I tell
maybe there is for some and for others well “Oh well!”
the things that you believe don’t have to match mine
if you respect my opinions we’ll get along just fine
