Saint Peter's Gate Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
I was loG#mst in the dark, And the C#m/G#fear was in my heartG#m, All arF#ound me the forest and the rEain, Then with the fG#mlash of a light, C#m/G#I saw it in the night, I muF#st be getting near - Saint Peter's GG#mate!
When I G#mwent through the door, he was sC#mtanding in the G#mhall, An F#7old man with a beard of shining wG#mhite, He said "I've been expecting you, let me sC#mhow you to your room", And he tF#7ook me all the way by candlG#melight, And lying tF#7here on the bed, a C#book, black & red, My naEme was written on the front inD#7sus4 gold, D#7And when I G#mopened it up, there were pC#mictures of my life, And a vF#7oice began to call from down bG#melow

"Come with me" said that old man, as he took me by the hand "There is someone here that you have seen before, In this room on the left, a man who did his best, To bring joy and happiness to one and all; But in that room on the right, a dictator in life, We've been waiting for him here,as you can tell, For all the blood he's spilled, And for all the ones he's killed, We condemn him to eternity in hell; Nobody will get through, Nobody, Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day, Nobody will be spared,Heaven is only there, For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.
I woke up with the dawn, there was soC#mmeone in my G#mroom, A F#7woman, like an angel all in G#mwhite, And then she told me "You must run, for your C#mtime has yet to come, Go F#7now, before they change their G#mminds",
And from the F#7window I saw, A thC#mousand or more, BrEinging that dictator to his kD#7nees, And his cG#mries broke the sound, Of my fC#mootsteps on the ground, As I mF#7ade it to the safety of the trG#mees:
Nobody will get through, Nobody not even you, Can escape the judgement day, Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there, For the ones who satisfy them at... Saint Peters Gate. Nobody will get through, Nobody not even you, Can escape the judgement day, Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there, For the ones who satisfy them at, St Peters Gate.
