The Vatican Rag Chords & Lyrics - Tom Lehrer

[G7]First you get down on your knees,
[C6]Fiddle With your Roseries
[G7]Bow your head with great respect and..
[C]Genu-fle[C#dim]ct, Genu-[Dm]flect, Genu-[G9]flect!

[G7]Do whatever steps you want if
[C6]you have cleared them with the po[A7]ntiff
[F]Everybody [F#dim]say his own [C]Kyrie [A7]Eleison,
[D7]Doin' the [G7]Vatican [C]Rag.

[G7]Get in line in that processional,
[C]Step into that small confessi[C#dim]onal,
[G7]There the guy who's got religion'll
[C]tell you if your sins origina[G7]l.
[F]If it is, try playin' it safer,
[Fm]Drink the wine and chew the wafer.
[F#dim]Two, Four, Six, Eight.
[G7]Time to transubstantiate.

[G7]So get down on your knees,
[C6]Fiddle with your Roseries
[G7]Bow your head with great respect and,
[C]Genu-f[C#dim]lect, Genu-fl[Dm]ect, Genu-f[G9]lect.
[G7]Make a cross on your ab-domen,
[C9]when in Rome, do like a Roman.
[F]Ave Maria, [C]Gee it's good to [A7]see ya!
[D7]Gettin' Ecst[G7]atic-an, [D7]sorta drama[G7]tic-an
[D7]Doin the [G7]Vatican [C]Rag!
