Holy Now chords by Kathy Mattea

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G


Verse 1:
       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


Refrain:
    Em     D
Everything, everything
       C
Everything is holy now


Riff:
G


Verse 2:
       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


Refrain:
    Em     D
Everything, Everything
        C
Everything's a miracle


Bridge:
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


Verse 3:
          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


Refrain:
    Em     D
Everything, everything
       C
Everything is holy now


Instrumental:
G D C G
G D C G


Bridge:
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


Verse 4:
         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


Outro:
