[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]God's angry man,
his crotchety scholar,
Was St. Jerome, a great name -caller,
[Am]Who cared not a dime for laws of libel,
An[Em]d in his spare time
translated the Bible.
St. [C]Jerome, [D]the thun[Em]derer
Quick to disparage all joys but learning
St. Jerome thought marriage
better than burning
[Am]But didn't like women's
painted cheeks
Yeah, [Em]he didn't like Romans
and he didn't like Greeks
Saint [C]Jerome, [D]the [Em]Thunderer
Hated pagans for their pagan ways
Yet doted on Cicero all of his days
[Am]A born reformer, cross and gifted
[Em]He scolded mankind sterner than swifty
Saint [C]Jerome, [D]the thun[Em]derer
[C]But a swell man's min[D]d with godly lov[Em]in'
[C]It takes all kin[D]ds to make it
to heav[Em]en[B][Em]
Worked to save the world
from the heathen
Fled to a cave for peace to
breathe [Am]in
Promptly wherewith for miles around
[Em]He filled the air with fury and sound
Saint Jerome,
[C]tal[D]king about the thunder[Em]ous
In mighty prose for all mighty ends
He thrust at his foes,
quarreled with his friends
[Am]And served his master
though with complaints
[Em]He wasn't a plaster, sort of saint
Saint [C]Jerome, [D]the [Em]thunder
Can't get through life by
just being nice
Ignorance of scripture is
ignorance of Christ
[Am]Love without truth
is just sentimental
[Em]Truth without love is sterile
Saint [C]Jerome, [D]the thunder[Em]er
[C]He swelled man's
[D]minds with godly [Em]leaven
[C]It takes all [D]kinds to make
it to [Em]heaven[B]
[Em]God's angry man, his crotchety scholar,
Was Saint Jerome,
the great name -caller,
[Am]Who cared not a dime for laws of libel,
[Em]And in his spare time,
translated the Bible,
Saint [C]Jerome, [D]the Thunderer
[Em]Saint [C]Jerome, [D]the [Em]Thunderer
You're [C]young an[D]d ain't
the time [Em]to run
[C]Yes, ain't you wrong [D]to turn to [Em]her
