The Thunderer

Em
God's angry man, His crotchety 
scholar
Em
Was Saint Jerome, The great 
name-caller
Am
Who cared not a dime for laws of 
libel
Em
And in his spare time he translated 
the Bible
C        D     Em
St Jerome, the Thunderer

[Verse 2]
Em
Quick to disparage all joys but 
learning
Em
Jerome thought marriage was better 
than burning
Am
But did'nt like womans painted 
cheeks;
Em
He did'nt like Romans and he did'nt 
like Greeks
C       D      Em
St Jerome, the Thunderer

[Verse 3]
Em
Hated pagens for their pagen ways
Em
Yet doted on Cicero all of his days
Am
A born reformer, cross and gifted
Em
He scolded mankind, sterner than 
Swift did
C       D      Em
St Jerome, the Thunderer

Worked to save the World from the

Fled to a cave for peace to breathe 
in

Promptly wherewith for miles around

He filled the air with fury and 
sound
C       D      Em
St Jerome the Thunderer

[Verse 5]
Em
In a mighty prose for almighty ends,
Em
He thrust at his foes, and 
quarrelled with his friends
Am
And served his Master, Though with 
complaint,
Em
He wasn't a plaster sort of Saint
C       D      Em
St Jerome the Thunderer

[Verse 6]
Em
Can't get through life with just 
being nice

Truth without love is sterile
