Play it loud and scream along! You can pretty much play these
chords anywhere. I play them higher up during the verse, and
lower down during the other bits, but then pick open E and A
chords for the last verse bit, so it's really up to you and
what sounds good to you.


Lyrics

E                      A
You've got a methodist coloring book
                     E
and you color really well
                   A
But don't color outside the lines
                        B
or God will send you to Hell
       A         E
'Cause God hates war
    A         E
and God hates crime
          A            C#m
a' but he really hates people
    D                 B
who color outside the lines

E                      A
You've got a methodist coloring book
                        E
don't color outside the lines
                      A
'Cause if God doesn't strike you with lightning
                           B
He'll at least make you go blind
     A                      E
Good people get sent to the attic
    A                        E
Bad people will roast in the cellar
              A               C#m
But there's a special kind a' Hell
              D                   B
for those who just won't learn to color

D                A
God is gracious, God is good
E              B
so let's color in his book
D                 A
God wears cotton, God wears rayon
E             B
He can mend a broken crayon
D                 A
God is honest, he don't take payola
E                       F#            A
Let's all thank him for our Crayolas

          C#                 E       F#  A
You got a methodist coloring book!
          C#                 E       F#  A
You got a methodist coloring book!
          C#                 E
You got a methodist coloring book!
G#      A
Ah..oh..oh
G#      A
Ah..oh..oh
          C#                 E       F#  A
You got a methodist coloring book!
          C#                 E       F#  A

          C#                 E
You got a methodist coloring book!
G#      A
Ah..oh..oh


(pick your way through these chords)
E                      A
You've got a methodist coloring book
                     E
and you color really well
                   A
But don't color outside the lines
                        B
or God will send you to Hell

End on B.
