[Verse 1]
G
Tell me Father what’s the craic
   C            D
Is Jesus really coming back
          G                                       Em
And if he does d'ye think he'll live here in the 'burbs?
       G
Cos I’d like to help out round the place
      C            D
A few odd jobs for holy grace
         G
And I'll even let you preach your strange old words

[Verse 2]
G
For I’ve been a Godless fool
                 C           D
They thrashed it outta me at school
               G                  Em
And I swore id never take a knee again
       G
But if you can guarantee me there’s
  C             D
A heaven up & a hell down there
   G
My wicked sinful ways I'll seek to mend

[Chorus]
G                           C              D
If all them stars above are saints in some accord
        G                            C                   G
And Les Darcy is among em, then I'll make peace with the Lord

G
I were spat on, I were beat
       C               D
I were tossed into the street
            G                             Em
Where I lay cackling in the filthy bloody rain
            G
I went from bar to bar
            C             D
Callin dogs jus what they were
          G
Until the next one tried to slap me round the brains

[Verse 4]
G
A bottle of cheap whisky was the key
          C                D
Unlocking beasts inside o' me

       G                       Em
That oughtn't see the light of day
              G
I'd shower on all fours
         C                D
Go punch holes in all the doors
            G
And drag my heart around like it were dying prey

[Chorus]
G                           C              D
If all them stars above are saints in some accord
        G
And Les Darcy is among em, then I'll make peace with the Lord

[Verse 5]
G
I’ve heard him called so many things
         C         D
'Hey-Sue Christy' 'King of Kings'
      G                           Em
Is it Mister, Father, Son or Holy Ghost?
         G
He could turn the water into wine
                  C               D
And we can have a laugh about the time
                     G
He popped up on that old dears slice o' toast

[Verse 6]
G
I’ve been around & seen some things
C                   D
Slept with witches, fought for Kings
         G                          Em
And I’ve sung a song o' joy in many lands
          G
But if my dog can’t get to Heaven
           C              D
While some mongrels go on livin'
        G                 C                  G
I'm not sure he's got the whole world in his hands

[Chorus]
G                           C              D
If all them stars above are saints in some accord
        G                            D                   G
And Les Darcy is among em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
G                           C              D
If all them stars above are saints in some accord
        G                            D                   G
And Les Darcy is among em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
        G                               D                   G
If Roy Williamson’s among em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
        G                          C                   G
If Burnsey is among em, then I'll make peace with the Lord
      G                                  C          D        G
If my Grandad Bill’s among em, then I'll make peace with you Lord
