Song is played guitar tuned to open E (E,B,E,g#,b,e) for slide parts, but can be played tuned normaly. My favorite GPN song. Alot of soul put into it. Hope you enjoy. Verses: E (Hammer on the A note on g string) My body's acing from laying in this bed I went singing in the rain and the cold got to my head I don't know who's paying i just know what the doctor said 84 years of a sinning life and in the morning i'll be dead Dbm B6 E E (Hammer on the A note on g string)(play A chord instead of the A note as intensity increases or use slide to slide down to A Chord) I had three daughters A new man for every one The only man that i ever loved Left me with my only son
EI was a no good motheAr EI was a no good wife A EThere's only one thing that i did right in Athis godforsaken life
Chorus:
DbmSaint peter won't yoB6u open up the big whiteA gate DbmCause i heard about B6forgiveness and i hope Ait ain't too late DbmI ain't no holy rollB6er but you go tell yourA king That all thDe folks up in heaven might lAike to hear me sing
Same as Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I sang to my children Before they strayed so far I sang for my lovers Or a nickel in a tip jar I never knew jesus I never read the good book But on my day of dying I'm giving life a second look Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing Slide Guitar solo: Played over chorus progression in B It's coming on time now My body's getting cold I've got no will i've got no prayer My story's all been told I'm ready for the land of fire But i'd love to see the land of gold So nurse bring me my guitar One more song before i go Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing Pretty much it.
