The song was released as his debut single on 13 September 2013. Hozier, a struggling musician at the time of this song\u2019s writing, wrote and recorded the song in the attic of his parents&#8217; home in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. A mid-tempo soul song, its lyrics detail Hozier&#8217;s frustration with the Catholic Church and its stance on homosexuality. It first caught the attention of independent label Rubyworks, where producer Rob Kirwan overdubbed the original demo with live instruments. Only two musicians are featured on the track, Andrew Hozier-Byrne (Hozier) and drummer Fiachra Kinder. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Take_Me_to_Church\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more on Wikipedia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Useful links:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PVjiKRfKpPI\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lyrics and Chord Tabs<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Specs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4690 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Hozier_Take_Me_to_Church.jpg\" alt=\"take me to church chords\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Hozier_Take_Me_to_Church.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Hozier_Take_Me_to_Church-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Hozier_Take_Me_to_Church-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Title:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Take Me to Church<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Artist:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hozier<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Songwriters:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Andrew Hozier-Byrne<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Album:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Take Me to Church<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Key<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Em<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tempo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 63<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Chord Progression<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Em\u2013Am\u2013G\u2013D\u2013C\u2013B7<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Accompaniment Technique:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Open Chords and Simple Strums<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/storORRgkKQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Playing Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind that will help you learn the tune faster while giving you some ideas for how to approach performing it.

It also has an interesting song form, in that, the Verse is in 3\/4 time and is made up of a four-bar chord riff that\u2019s connected with the D and C chords and a time change to 4\/4. It\u2019s creates an interesting mood change. The Verse then ends with an \u201cAmen\u201d Refrain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also a descending riff that\u2019s played on the 6th string that\u2019s used to connect the Verse and the Chorus. And, the rest of the tune concludes with conventional songwriting techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you get past the time changes and somewhat unusual Verse structure you\u2019ll find \u201cTake Me to Church\u201d is a fun and easy tune that you can quickly add to your repertoire. It\u2019s also a great tune for those venturing into the world of singing while playing. The open chords and simple strumming patterns lend themselves to working on these skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Accompaniment Techniques<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suggest using a combination of downstrums with the open chords for the Verse. Then, add targeted strumming for the Chorus and Bridge sections. Let me explain this further: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Targeted strumming<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an alternate strumming technique.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split the guitar into two string sets: the low strings (strings 4-5-6) and the high strings (strings 1-2-3).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to imitate the bass and snare of the drum pattern. Bass = low strings, and snare = high strings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the boom-chick and\/or the boom-chicka techniques as your starting point.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Boom-Chick Strumming Technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s use an alternate (down and up) strumming technique for \u201cTake Me to Church\u201d. Amongst guitarists, this technique is referred to as the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boom-chicka pattern<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cboom\u201d is the bass (lowest note of the chord) played with a downstrum .<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cchicka\u201d is the higher part (the top 2 or 3 strings) of the chord also played with alternating strums (down followed by up).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downstrum on \u201cchick\u201d and the upstrum on \u201ca\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boom-chick technique<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that is the basic version of the boom-chicka. And, the boom-chick only uses downstrums: bass-chord, bass-chord; or, boom-chick, boom-chick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When hitting the bass (boom), you aim for the lower part of the chord (or the bottom three strings). Then, for the chord (chick), aim for the higher three strings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, you don\u2019t need to strum too hard. Brush the strings and try to recreate that bouncy feel that is a key component of the song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chord Chart<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve included a chord chart, which is a simple road map that shows you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall arrangement of the song.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A section by section breakdown of the song.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each chord and how long to play it for. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t read music, please don\u2019t be intimidated. This is a cheat sheet that can help you get through the tune quickly and easily. I find it indispensable for learning songs and I can also hand it to a seasoned musician and they can follow along without any problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Form<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Verse:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A 4-measure chord riff that\u2019s played twice; The four-bar riff is in 3\/4 time and can be viewed as Em\u2013Em\u2013G\u2013Em with an Am chord played on beat 3 of each measure. There is a measure of D\u2013C with a time change from 3\/4 to 4\/4 before the 4-measure chord riff is played a third time. This is followed by a 4-bar Refrain (the \u201cAmen\u201d part). Then, a chromatic, descending riff brings us into the Chorus.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Chorus:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A 4-measure section that\u2019s repeated; Measure 1 is Em, Measure 2 is B7, Measure 3 is G for two beats and Am for two beats, and Measure 4 is Em for two beats followed by the descending riff. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Bridge:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A 10-measure section; first a four-bar chord pattern, C\u2013G\u2013B7\u2013Em that\u2019s repeated. This is followed by two beats of D and two beats of G\/B. The final measure is four beats of C.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you become familiar with chord charts, you\u2019ll never want to go back. It\u2019s just easier to see where you\u2019re going when you have a map. And, it\u2019s especially helpful when you\u2019re not familiar with the song or there\u2019s a section of the song that you don\u2019t remember (Bridges and Interludes are notorious for surprising players and derailing a song\u2019s performance). This tune has a Bridge complete with a key change and strumming feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4692\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-3.28.28-PM.png\" alt=\"take me to church chords\" width=\"607\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-3.28.28-PM.png 607w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-3.28.28-PM-300x254.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap-up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope that you\u2019ve enjoy learning Take Me to Church chords.
