  C                Am
     Up those stone steps I climb
  Dm                 G
     Hail this joyful day's return
  C                          Am
     Into it's great shadowed vault 
I go
  G#               Gm     F
     Hail the Pentecostal morn

  C                          Am
     The reading is from Luke 24
  Dm                     G
     Where Christ returns to his 
loved ones
  C                     Am
     I look at the stone apostles

  G#                Gm          F
     Think that it's alright for 
some

  C                       Am
     And I wish that I was made of 
stone
  Dm                    G
     So that I would not have to see
  C                     Am
     A beauty impossible to define
  G#                    Gm     F
     A beauty impossible to believe

  C                     Am
     A beauty impossible to endure
  Dm                      G
     The blood imparted in little 
sips
  C                        Am
     The smell of you still on my 
hands
  G#                      Gm    F
     As I bring the cup up to my 
lips

  C           Am
     No God up in the sky
  Dm             G          
     And no devil beneath the 
        C
seaaaaa
                          Am
     Could do the job that you did, 
baby
  G#               Gm    F
     Of bringing me to my knees

  C                  Am
     Outside I sit on the stone 
steps
  Dm             G
     With nothing much to do
  C             Am
     Forlorn and exhausted, baby
  G#         Gm       F    G      C
     By the absence of you
