intro riff (G, C, G, D,G) X 2

solo (over verse)

I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook, I believe that he's in me
The Tao is like a river , so float along with me
When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost is boiling in my veins
I think of Jesus on the cross and I scream out for his pain

Chorus X 2
