The Pogues – Rake At The Gates Of Hell (Guitar)

C
I'll be with them asleep and dreaming

C
I'll be there when they wake with screaming

C
At the hour of death then I will nurse them

C
To have a moment more to curse them

C
Watch the maggots crawl out of them

C
Hear the angels call above them

C
Watch them as the cold air sucks them

C
Down to hell, goodnight, God love them

C
If any should escape above me

C
Beg and cheat until they trust me

C
Drag them down to be damned with me

C
Laugh at them as they forgive me

C
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds

C
Still the moon shows no light

C
This rose is withered, may God deliver

C
The rake at the gates of hell tonight

C
Yigh!

C
I wish that they could walk forever

C
On the earth, alone, unfettered

C
'Til they pray for consolation

C
'Til they beg for sweet damnation

C
Then I'll come and bring them water

C
Bring them hope, bring them laughter

C
Raise their hopes so sad and sunken

C
Slash them up as they lie there drunken

C
Push them down into the foul mud

C
'Til they choke up on their own blood

C
Drag them out before their last breath

C
To take away the mercy of death

C
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds

C
Still the moon shows no light

C
This rose is withered, may God deliver

C
The rake at the gates of hell tonight

C
Yigh!

C
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds

C
Still the moon shows no light

C
This rose is withered, may God deliver

C
The rake at the Gates of Hell tonight

C
Mother's eyes are sparkling diamonds

C
Still the moon shows no light

C
This rose is withered, may God deliver

C
The rake at the gates of hell tonight
