Holy, [G]holy, [C#]holy, holy, [G]holy, [C]holy, hol[Cm]y,

[G]The [B]world is [G]holy, the soul is [Eb]holy,
[D]The [Eb]skin is [G]holy, [F#]the nose [G]is holy,
The tongue [D]and cock,
and hand and asshole, holy!
[G]Everything is holy,
everybody's holy,
Everywhere is holy,
Every day is an eternity,
every [Eb]man's an angel.
The [G]bum's as holy as the [Eb]seraphim.
[Ab]The madm[Eb]an is holy as you,
my soul, are [G]holy.
The typewriter [A]is holy,

Holy my mother in the insane [Db]asylum,
Holy [Eb]the cocks of the grandfathers of Kansas,
[Gb]Holy the roaring saxop[Eb]hone[Gb],
[C]Holy the bop apocalypse,
[Db]Holy the [Eb]jazz bands,
marijuana of hipsters,
[Db]peace, [Gb]peyote, pipes, and [Eb]drums.
Holy the solitudes of [Db]sky
scrapers and [Eb]pavements.
Holy the [F]cafeterias filled
[G]with the millions.
Holy [Eb]the mysterious rivers of tears
under the streets.
[Db]Holy the lone [Dm]juggernaut.
[G]Holy the vast [D]clam of the middle class.
Holy [Db]the crazy shepherds
of [A]re bellion,

Holy [C]New York, holy San [G]Francisco,
holy [Eb]Pe oria and Seattle,
holy [G]Paris, holy Tangiers,

[Eb]Holy time in eternity,
holy eternity in time,
holy the clocks in space,
holy the fourth dimension,
Holy the Fifth International,

Holy the Desert,
Holy the Railroad,
[Cm]Holy the Locomotive,
