[Chorus]
A N.C.
Bless me father for I have sinned
N.C.
She had big brown eyes and silky skin
A N.C.
Bless me father I couldn't resist
N.C.                            D           E
Oh Father you just have no idea what you've missed


[Post-Chorus]
   A   D  E
Oh no
A  D  E


[Verse 1]
           A
Where it's Wednesday every second week
        D            E
From September until May
    A
She gets the bus to go to work
           D              E
Before the dawning of the day
        A
And she took my hand and led me
       D               E
Up the stairs into temptation
       A
In the room the candle flickers
         D               E
And your feet are swept away


[Chorus]
   A                   D      E
Oh Bless me father for I have sinned
        A              D     E
She had big brown eyes silky skin
A                 D           E
Bless me Father I couldn't resist
   A N.C.                   D           E
Oh Father, you have no idea what you've missed


[Post-Chorus]
   A   D  E
Oh no
A  D  E


[Verse 2]
        A
All the daydreams in my gallery
    D                E
Are portraits of her prettiness
        A
All the secret silent moments
         D             E
Call her features into view
A
Every other woman
      D                 E
Draws contrasts and comparisons
         A
With the stars and heavenly bodies
         D            E
She sits perfectly in tune


[Chorus]
   A                   D      E
Oh Bless me father for I have sinned
        A               D     E
She had big brown eyes, silky skin
A                 D           E
Bless me Father I couldn't resist
   A   N.C.                 D           E
Oh Father, you have no idea what you've missed


[Post-Chorus]
   A   D  E
Oh no
A  D  E


[Bridge]
         E                       A
I'll say three hail Mary's and a glory be
   E                       A
If prayers would bring her here to me
  D                         B    E
I clenched her shoulders in ecstasy


[Verse 3]
N.C.
She's got a heart of steel
N.C.
(Delightful kindness)
N.C.
She looks great in jeans
N.C.
(Dunnes stores finest)
       A
In the crucible's flames
     D         E
(Her heart was forged)
   A
In tongues of fire
      B        E
Now I long for more


[Chorus]
A                   D      E
Bless me father for I have sinned
        A               D     E
She had big brown eyes, silky skin
          A                 D    E
She's the greatest kisser I ever kissed
   A                       D           E
Oh Father you have no idea what you've missed


[Outro]
   A   D        E
Oh no  Bless me Father
         A      D
Bless me Father
E        A
Bless me Father
D        E
Bless me Father
A       D  E
Father
A    D        E
     Bless me Bless me
A       D  E
Father
A    D        E
     Bless me Bless me
A
Father
