 (Kay Brewer / Barleywench Music; Kyf Brewer / Brewerds&Music / ASCAP)
 D                         G          D   
 he stands on the alter so stout and erect
 D                           A              
 the hair bristles up on the back of my neck
 D                            G             D    
 his creamy white collar doth tame the wild beast
 D  G      A           D     
 i, i'm in love with a priest
 
 he speaks so discreetly and beckons to me
 come forth to the rail i'll give comfort to thee
 i'll hear your confession and give you release
 i, i'm in love with a priest
 
 G                 
 God save me father
 D                   
 i surely have sinned
 G                   
 a scotch and a water
   A          
 a tonic & gin
     D                   
 but hell or high whiskey
    G           D    
 i will make my peace
 D  G      A           D     
 i, i'm in love with a priest
 
 i love his black cassock, his promise and vow
 i worship the sweat that rolls down from his brow
 though many have suffered with cause to repent
 i dare not desert him for six weeks of lent
 
 the hand lifts the spirit, his head tilts to mine
 to thirst him is human, to quench is divine
 he fills me with glory, the longing has ceased
 i, i'm in love with a priest
 
 God save me father
 i surely have sinned
 a scotch and a water
 a tonic & gin
 but hell or high whiskey
 i will make my peace
 i, i'm in love with a priest
 D                                  G            D    
 now don't weep me daughters - it's not what you think
 D                         A              
 it's only a guinness, the father of drink
 D                         G            D    
 if anything's rising that would be the yeast
 (N/C) A D
 i'm in love with a priest.
 D  G   A           D              
 i'm in love with a priest.(Repeat)
