Artist - Hozier
Song - Take Me To Church (Acoustic Version)
Tab by - David Ehlert

I've been covering songs and tabbing music for many years but this is my first time submitting one. All the 
other versions seem to be close but each have parts that didn't sound right so I did my best to fix all the 
misinterpretations. This is very close to the Acoustic version that plays on YouTube. Let me know what you 
think. Thanks.

I should've wo

             
rshiped her so

    
oner
              
If the Heavens

k
              
She's the last

            
 true mouth pi

    
ece
              
Every Sunday's

            
 getting more 

     
bleak
              
A fresh poison

     
 each week
              
'We were born 

             
sick, you hear

The only heave

 to
              
Is when I'm al

          
one with you
              
I was born sic

 
k, but I love 

it

Command me to 

be well

[Verse 2]

            
If I'm a pagan
