verse 1 
C 
Will you pray for me 

When the roots of the oak 
                    G 
And my ribcage are braidinâ 
C 
If I can think 
                                       G 
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you 
 D 
High on the hill where the fox horns blow 
 C 
And down in the grave where they lay me low 
G 
Catholic girl, pray for me 

You're my only hope for Heaven 

verse 2 
C 
When I's a boy 
                                        G 
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill 
C 
But all the while 
                                     G 
I kept in mind the Lordâs redeeming grace 
D 
High on the hill where the fox horns blow 
   C 
And down in the city where the heathens go 
 G 
Catholic girl, pray for me 

You're my only hope for Heaven 

Bridge 
D 
Do you reckon he lets Free Will 
C                              G 
Boys mope around in purgatory 

verse 3 
C 
I know that Hell 
                                      G 
Is just as real as I am surely breathinâ' 
               C 
But Iâve heard tale 
                                          G 
Of a middle ground, I think will work for me 
 D 
When the time has come for changin' worlds 
 C 
I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl 
G 
Catholic girl, pray for me 

You're my only hope for Heaven
