        Bm     A         Em      
 Well Brother John went down to 
    Bm
the garden
       Bm       A        Bm
 On a long hot summer's day
     Bm         A              Em
 To watch that girl, he would 
           Bm
hide in the shadows
         Bm         A     Bm
 As she worked the time away
           A                      
 With her long black hair and her 
D
eyes of fire
        G                  F#sus4 F#
 And a body to drive men crazy
        Bm                       
 It was on that day there would be a
Em
 change
         A                Bm A Bm
 In the world of Brother John
 A Bm


      Bm      A             Em   
 She felt his eyes and she walked
       Bm
 up beside him
        Bm         A      Bm
 And she took him by the hand
      Bm             A          
 She said, "Brother John, it's so 
   Em         Bm
hard to be holy
            Bm      A    Bm
 Would you like to be a man?
         A                     
 I will meet you tonight at the 
  D
monastery wall
Continues after the ad
             G                   
 If you're there we will find out 
    F#sus4 F#
together"
          Bm                   
 And the Devil said, "There's a 
   Em
place in Hell
          A               Bm
 For the soul of Brother John"

G                 D
 Hallelujah, temptation is here
A                     Bm D
 It's not a dream anymore
G                  D
 Hallelujah, it's finally here
            F#sus4                 
 I've been waiting, I'm waiting, 
   F#
I'm waiting

        Bm     A        Em       
 Well Brother John lay tossing 
   Bm
and turning
         Bm         A           Bm
 In his bed in the heat of the night
     Bm        A           Em    
 He heard his name and he went to
      Bm
 the window
            Bm         A        Bm
 Where she was in the pale moonlight
         A                       
 Oh the sins of the flesh are too 
  D
much to deny
         G                  F#sus4 
 He was lost to her body forever
F#

          Bm                  
 And the Devil laughed and the 
 Em
angels cried
          A               Bm
 For the soul of Brother John

G                 D
 Hallelujah, temptation is here
A                     Bm D
 It's not a dream anymore
G                  D
 Hallelujah, it's finally here
            F#sus4                 
 I've been waiting, I'm waiting, 
   F#
I'm waiting
