[N] I [G#m] was lost in the dark and the fear was in my heart
All [F#] around me the forest and the [E] rain
Then with the [G#m] flash of a light I [C#m] saw it in the night
I [F#] must be getting near St.
Peter's [G#m] Gate
[G#] When I [G#m] went through the door he was [C#m] standing in [G#m] the hall
[F#] An old man with a beard of shining [G#m] white
He said, I've been expecting you, let me [C#m] show you to your room
And he [F#] took me all the way by candle
[G#m] And lying [F#] there on the bed, [C#] painted black and red
[E] My name was written on the front in [D#] gold
And when [G#m] I opened it up, there were [C#m] pictures of my life
And a [F#] voice began to call from down [G#m] below
[E] Nobody will get [B] through, nobody, not even [F#] you
Can escape the judgment [G#] day
[E]
Nobody will be spared, [B] heaven is only [C#m] there
For the ones who satisfy [D#] their mind
St.
Peter's [G#m] Gate
[C#m] [G#m]
[F#] [G#m]
Come with me said that old man as he [C#m] took me by the [G#m] hand
There [F#] is someone here that you have seen [G#m] before
In this room on the left, [C#m] a man who did his best
To bring [F#] joy and happiness to one [G#m] and all
But in [F#] that room on the right, a [C#] dictator in life
He'd [E] been waiting for him here, as you can [D#] tell
For [G#m] all the blood he spilled, and [C#m] for all the ones he's killed
We condemn [F#] him to eternity in [G#m] hell
[E]
Nobody will get through, [B]
nobody, not even [F#] you
Can escape the judgment [G#] day
[E] Nobody will be [B] spared, heaven is only there
[C#m] For the ones who satisfy [D#] their mind

I [G#m]
[D#m]
[G#] woke up with the dawn, there [C#m] was someone in [G#m] my room
A [F#] woman, like an angel all in [G#m] white
And then she told me you must run, for your [C#m] time has yet to come
Go [F#]
now, before they change [G#m] their minds
And from [F#] the window I saw [C#] a thousand or more
[E] Bringing that dictator to his [G#]
knees
And his cries broke the sound of my [C#m] footsteps on the ground
As [F#] I made it to the safety of the [G#m] trees
[E]
Nobody will get [B] through, nobody, not even [F#] you
Can escape the judgment [G#m] day
[E] Nobody will be [B] spared, heaven is only [C#m] there
