[Intro]
C  G   D  G    C  G   D  G

[Verse]
C             G       C             G
We used to Go down to Aunt Peggie's house
C             G           D           Em
Played in the dirt by the single wide trailer
C          G                      G
Hit up the church when the spirit fell,
C          G          D
Praying in tongues of angels
C              G           D  G
Marty's on the drink again,
   C         G                    D     G
We reach out towards him from the sanctuary
C          G        D    Em
Some folks sing and shout
        C         G             D             G
And the room gets loud until it all sounds scary

[Chorus]
           D       C            G
This coalescing of holiness and horror,
  C                 D
Addiction, loss, and  blessing
C                  G
   Painkillers and magic
C                       G         D
   Methamphetamines and spiritual madness
C                   Em                    D
   I watch with the eyes of a child as it happens
D                      Am
   Through the lens of these memories
               C
Of white trash revelry
D                  C     G   D  G    C  G   D  G
   Painkillers and mag - ic

[Verse 2]
C            G
Peggie has a soft voice
C                      G
Singing from the porch while I play with the boys
           C             G
Though the fabric of memory
    D         Em
She stands in front of me
C                    G
Gentle and sad and rejoicing
C                    G      D      D   G
Praise be the lord's savage sorcery

[Chorus]
           D       C            G
This coalescing of holiness and horror,
  C                 D
Addiction, loss, and  blessing
C                  G
   Painkillers and magic
C                       G         D
   Methamphetamines and spiritual madness
C                   Em                    D
   I watch with the eyes of a child as it happens
D                      Am
   Through the lens of these memories
               C
Of white trash revelry
D                  C     G   D  G    C  G   D  G

[Outro]
     C
Hallelujah
C
When I ached in the closet alone on my knees
     G
Hallelujah
G
I would plead for God's mercy to wash over me
     C
Hallelujah
C
I was a child and I heard nothing
      Em               D
But I hear aunt Peggie sing,
      C                  C  G   D  G   C  G    D  G
"Hallelujah," ceaselessly
