Harmless Sparks
Capo 3
C               G
They might have burned
        F                        C
but the priests were all taking turns
        Em                     Am
showing nuns what they had discerned
  Am/G       F             G
about their bodies in the dark
C            G
they carried on
          F                C
from the evening until the dawn
           Em                   Am           Am/G      F
like they should have been all along making harmless sparks
G                   G7             C
instead of breaking little boys' hearts
