Kathy Mattea – Holy Now (Guitar)

             G
When I was a girl, each week

                    D
On Sunday, we would go to church

                  C
And pay attention to the priest

                      G
And he would read the holy word

                   G
And consecrate the holy bread

                   D
And everyone would kneel and bow

               C
Today the only difference is

              G
Everything is holy now

        Em          D
Everything, everything

              C
Everything is holy now

              G
When I was in Sunday school

                D
We would learn about the time

                C
Moses split the sea in two

               G
Jesus made the water wine

               G
And I remember feeling sad

                    D
That miracles don't happen still

          C
But now I can't keep track

                      G
'Cause everything's a miracle

        Em          D
Everything, Everything

               C
Everything's a miracle

D    G               C
Wine   from water is not so small

                   F           C
But an even bigger magic trick

                    G
Is that anything is here at all

D  G                 C
So   the challenging thing becomes

                F          C
Not to look for miracles

                        D
But finding where there isn't one

                    G
When holy water was rare at best

                 D
It barely wet my fingertips

                  C
But now I have to hold my breath

                       G
Like I'm swimming in a sea of it

                G
I used to see a world half there

                     D
Heaven's second rate hand-me-down

                     C
But I walk it with a reverent air

                     G
'Cause everything is holy now

        Em          D
Everything, everything

              C
Everything is holy now

D     G               C
Read    a questioning child's face

                   F           C
And say it's not a testament

               G
That'd be very hard to say

D   G             C
See   another new morning come

                   F         C
And say it's not a sacrament

                   D
I tell you that it can't be done

                 G
This morning, outside I stood

                 D
And saw a little red-winged bird

              C
Shining like a burning bush

               G
Singing like a scripture verse

                   G
It made me want to bow my head

                D
I remember when church let out

                C
How things have changed since then

                     G
'Cause everything is holy now

                G
It used to be a world half-there

                     D
Heaven's second rate hand-me-down

                     C
But I walk it with a reverent air

                     G
'Cause everything is holy now

        Em          D
Everything, everything

              C
Everything is holy now

        Em          D
Everything, everything

              C
Everything is holy now

Em        D              C
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah holy now

              C
Everything is holy now

C
Holy now

C
Ooohh
