Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][D]

[Verse 1]
He's [G]an old altar [E]boy
[Am]Lying out [C]ther[D]e in the stree[G]t
[C]He's an old[E] altar[Am][D]
Bound up [C]in leather and chain
[F]s[Bm]
And that's [E]why I'm feeling so [Am]blue
[D]I'm an old altar boy[G]
[E]What about you?
[D]

[Verse 2]
Now, I can order [G]in Latin
[E]Make it, "Au[Am] gratin, Joe[D]"
[G]I'm an old altar [E]boy
That's [Am]why I[D]'m so depressed
I [C]never got the [F]rest of the [Bm]dream
Just [E]the ritual, now [Am]I'm habitua[D]l
Ma[G]joring in [E]crimes that are
[Am]Unspeak[D]able, because I'm an old
Altar [G]boy, [E]that's what
happene[Am]d to me[D]

[Verse 3]
I'm an [G]old altar [E]boy he's [Am]hoping
He [D]can meet a woman dressed
[C]Like a [B]nun, [F]he knows there's [Bm]got to
Be some [E]around here, [Am]drinking across
From [D]the church a [G]little Father
[E]Cri[Am]bari wine
On a [D]Sunday morn [G]time[C]

[Verse 4]
I'm an old al[F]tar [G]boy
[Bm]Why [E]is he winking [Am]at this time
Of his [D]life, he never [G]took a wife
He's an [E]old altar [Am]boy[D]
What about [G]you?
