Brother John
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
Intro: Bm - A - Bm - A - Bm
Well B[Bm]rother John went d[Em]own to the ga[Bm]rden
On a long hot s[A]ummer's da[Bm]y.
To watch that girl, he wo[Em]uld hide in the [Bm]shadows
As she worked the t[A]ime awa[Bm]y.
With her l[A]ong black hair and her [D/F#]eyes of fire,
And a b[G]ody to drive men [F#sus4]crazy..[-].![F#]
It was [Bm]on that day there would [Em]be a change
In the w[A]orld of Brother John[Bm].[-] [A] [-] [Bm] [-] [A] [-] [Bm]
She felt his and she walked up beside him
And she took him by the hand.
She said, "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy,
Would you like to be a man?
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall--
If you're there we will find out together,"
And the Devil said, "There's a place in Hell,
For the soul of Brother John!"
H[G]allelujah! Tempt[D/A]ation is here!
I[A/C#]t's not a dream anym[Bm]ore.
H[G]allelujah! It's f[D/A]inally here...
I've been w[F#sus4]aiting, I'm wa[F#]iting, I'm waiting...!
Well Brother John lay tossing and turning
In his bed in the heat of the night.
He heard his name and he went to the window
Where she was in the pale moonlight.
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny!
He was lost to her body forever!
And the Devil laughed and the angels cried
For the soul of Brother John.
Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! It's finally here...
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...!
Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! It's finally here...
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...!
Temptation is here... for Brother John...
Temptation is here... for Brother John....
