              A                                         E 
They read the scripture, they passed the plate 
                                    A 
We?re both praying he don?t preach late 
                                             D 
But he?s getting amen?s, and that?s just our luck 
      E 
Yeah it?s eighty-five degrees outside and he?s just getting warmed up? 
 
 
 
    D 
Oh you and me, we could be soaking up that sun 
A 
Findin? out just how fast your brother?s boat?ll run 
      E 
I?ll tell ya? there ain?t nothing that?ll test your faith 
        A     E                  A 
Like a long sermon on a pretty Sunday. 
 
 
A                               E 
Well it?s been rainin? all week long 
                                             A 
I woke up this morning the dark clouds were gone 
                                    D 
We?ve both been raised not to miss church 
          E 
But on a day like today heaven knows how much it hurts? 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
F#m                D                    A 
See that sunlight shinin? through that stained glass 
 
F#m G#m  Am C#   D             E   A 
How much longer is this gonna last? 
 
(SOLO) 
 
(repeat chorus)
