Capo 4
I was lEmost in the dark,
And the fAmear was in my hEmeart,
All arDound me the forest and the rEmain,
Then with the flEmash of a light, I sAmaw it in the night,
I mDust be getting near Saint Peter's GEmate!
When I wEment through the door,
He was stAmanding in the hEmall,
An Dold man with a beard of shining whEmite,
He said "IEm've been expecting you, let Amme show you to your room",
And he tDook me all the way by candlelEmight,
And lying thDere on the bed, a bAook, black & red,
My nCame was written on the front in gB7sus4old, B7
And when I Emopened it up, there were pAmictures of my life,
And a vDoice began to call from down belEmow,
Em D C Nobody will get through,
G Nobody, not even yDou, can escape the Judgement DEmay,E
C Nobody will be sparedG, Heaven is only there,
FAmor the ones who satisfy them Emat,B7 Saint Peter's GateEm, Am Em D Em
"Come wEmith me" said that old man,
As he tAmook me by the hEmand,
"ThereD is someone here that you have seeEmn before,
In this rEmoom on the left, a mAman who did his best,
To bring jDoy and happiness to one and Emall,
But in that rDoom on the right, a dictAator in life,
We've been wCaiting for him here, as you can tB7sus4ell, B7
For Emall the blood he's spilled,
And for Amall the ones he's killed,
We condDemn him to eternity in hEmell,
Em D C Nobody will get through,
G Nobody, not even yDou, can escape the Judgement DEmay,E
C Nobody will be sparedG, Heaven is only there,
FAmor the ones who satisfy them Emat,B7 Saint Peter's GateEm, Am Em D Em
I woke Emup with the dawn,
There was sAmomeone in my rEmoom,
A wDoman, like an angel all in whEmite,
And then she tEmold me "You must run, for yAmour time has yet to come,
Go nDow, before they change their mEminds",
And from the wDindow I saw a thAousand or more,
BrCinging that dictator to his knB7sus4ees, B7
And his crEmies broke the sound,
Of my fAmootsteps on the ground,
As I mDade it to the safety of the trEmees,
Em D C Nobody will get through,
G Nobody, not even yDou, can escape the Judgement DEmay,E
C Nobody will be sparedG, Heaven is only there,
FAmor the ones who satisfy them Emat,B7 Saint Peter's GateEm, Am Em D A
A D C Nobody will get through,
G Nobody, not even yDou, can escape the Judgement DEmay,E
C Nobody will be sparedG, Heaven is only there,
FAmor the ones who satisfy them Emat,B7 Saint Peter's GateEm, Am Em D C Saint Peter's GateEm,
