Chris de Burgh – Saint Peters Gate (Guitar)

        Em
 I was lost in the dark,

          Am             Em
 And the fear was in my heart,

       D                           Em
 All around me the forest and the rain,

                 Em                 Am
 Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,

    D                                  Em
 I must be getting near Saint Peter's Gate!

         Em                 
 When I went through the door, 

          Am             Em
 He was standing in the hall,

    D                                 Em
 An old man with a beard of shining white,

                Em                          Am
 He said "I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room",

         D                            Em
 And he took me all the way by candlelight,

             D                  A
 And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red,

     C                                B7sus4 B7
 My name was written on the front in gold,

            Em                        Am
 And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life,

        D                               Em
 And a voice began to call from down below,

Em D C                   
      Nobody will get through, 

     G                  D                             Em E
      Nobody, not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,

     C                     G
      Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,

       Am                           Em B7                 Em Am Em D Em
      For the ones who satisfy them at, Saint Peter's Gate,

             Em               
 "Come with me" said that old man, 

        Am             Em
 As he took me by the hand,

            D                                 Em
 "There is someone here that you have seen before,

          Em                  Am
 In this room on the left, a man who did his best,

           D                           Em
 To bring joy and happiness to one and all,

              D                       A
 But in that room on the right, a dictator in life,

             C                                B7sus4 B7
 We've been waiting for him here, as you can tell,

     Em       
 For all the blood he's spilled,

         Am
 And for all the ones he's killed,

        D                       Em
 We condemn him to eternity in hell,

Em D C                   
      Nobody will get through, 

     G                  D                             Em E
      Nobody, not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,

     C                     G
      Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,

       Am                           Em B7                 Em Am Em D Em
      For the ones who satisfy them at, Saint Peter's Gate,

        Em
 I woke up with the dawn, 

            Am            Em
 There was someone in my room,

    D                            Em
 A woman, like an angel all in white,

               Em                              Am
 And then she told me "You must run, for your time has yet to come,

     D                             Em
 Go now, before they change their minds",

               D               A
 And from the window I saw a thousand or more,

   C                             B7sus4 B7
 Bringing that dictator to his knees,

           Em
 And his cries broke the sound,

        Am
 Of my footsteps on the ground,

       D                             Em
 As I made it to the safety of the trees,

Em D C                   
      Nobody will get through, 

     G                  D                             Em E
      Nobody, not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,

     C                     G
      Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,

       Am                           Em B7                 Em Am Em D A
      For the ones who satisfy them at, Saint Peter's Gate,

 A D C                   
      Nobody will get through, 

     G                  D                             Em E
      Nobody, not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,

     C                     G
      Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,

       Am                           Em B7                 Em Am Em D C                   Em
      For the ones who satisfy them at, Saint Peter's Gate,            Saint Peter's Gate,
