Hozier “Take Me To Church” Guitar Chords (Acoustic)
I have no idea if this will play along to any other version than the video below that was sent in with the request. I’ve only heard the studio version maybe twice on the radio (I don’t listen to the radio much at all, ipod only…) so I didn’t try this out to that version. I’m sure there are tons of studio version tabs out there if that’s what your looking for, but at least try this version. It’s really good!
NOTES-
1) The 'GG F#mF#m' that you see in the pre chorus and chorus means 2 quick strums of
each of those chords. (Play along with the song, you'll get it.)
2) If you watch the video, during the 'Amen' parts he's playing a barre G then a Gsus4.
Because my barring is bad, playing an easy G and and C sounds absolutely fine, so I
tabbed it the easier way. But if you can barre then go for it!
3) Pay attention to the chord changes. The timing is a bit tricky in parts. But overall,
if I can play this anyone can! (And yes, I can't barre well, but the barres in this tab
are easily 'cheated'. I've become a master at cheating them;)

STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO
(*= one strum) Most of the song is single strums but do what you want! I wasn't
going to mark all of them with '*'.
