(instrumental break) Two- four- six- eight- Two- four- six- eight- Two- four- six- eight- Time to transubstantiate Make a cross on your abdomen When in Rome do like a Roman Ave Maria, Gee, it's good to see you Gettin' ecstatic and sorta dramatic and Doing the Vatican Rag Copyright Tom Lehrer The intro and outro lyrics to the instrumental break were added in 1980 by Tom Lehrer for the revue of his songs TOMFOOLERY. |
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: VATICAN RAG (Tom Lehrer) From: GUEST,Tiger Date: 10 Mar 01 - 08:33 AM Here are the chords, straight from the Master himself. I strongly recommend the Lehrer songbook. It's full of the most wonderful chord progressions, passing chords and the odd 'dim' here and there.
