New Year's Eve At The Gates Of Hell chords and lyrics - RAY WYLIE HUBBARD

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
It's New Year's Eve at [D]the
gates of hell
Give the antichrist a cigarette
and tell him
The boy's here all the way from Oklahoma
Oh Lord, what the hell is that aroma?
It's [C]Jimmy Perkins [G]and
all the sonsabitches
Who [D]ripped off musicians and
stole their riches

[Verse 2]
They're [D]burning over yonder
with the Fox News whores
Oh, look is that the singer for The Doors
Nope, my mistake 'cause no
matter what they did
Poets deserve to be in heaven
and by the way, kid
Why am [C]I here w[G]hen I wasn't that bad?
I just [D]didn't like churches

[Verse 3]
but I never wore plaid
[D]
Now I know I'm funky and strip bar dirty
And I like a Les Paul through
a Vox AC30
There's something about
a lipstick pickup
Plugged right into a Blond Tremolux
But I guess [C]I deserve
to be [G]burned alive
Since I [D]pawned by '59 ES 335

[Verse 4]
And sure I drank a lot of [D]gin and tonic
But I never threw away my Panasonic
I kept that turntable through
my divorce
Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Drunk out of [C]my mind singing
"To[G]night's The Night"
It was as [D]lethal on vinyl as China White

[Verse 5]
[D]
Now maybe one time I used an Ouija board
And I never learned to make a B flat chord
So I got a double headed snake tattoo
I love Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu
And the action and the [C]mo
tion [D]of [G]a roulette wheel
And a wo[D]man walking away
in a pair of high heels

[Verse 6]
Now [D]once I drew an inside straight flush
And I wished I could sing like Otis Rush
The truth of the matter is
I really can't sing
But I can quote Martin Luther King
His words [C]are stronger
[D]than angel [G]dust is
"The ar[D]c of the moral universe is long

[Interlude 1]
But it bends toward justice"
[D][G]
[D]Now

[Verse 7]
back to New Year's
Eve at the gates of hell
It's kind of like the Beverly Hills Hotel
Before you can get a table
next to the fire
A sign says jacket and tie required
The devil [C]is [D]bad and [G]God of course is good
But [D]there's one thing I never understood

[Verse 8]
God [D]throws us down in hell
for all our sins
Burning in a fire and it never ends
The decision is made at
the highest level
Seems Got out sources
his work to the devil
Like [C]he's an employ[D]ee
[G]on the vice squad
Ap[D]pears like the devil is working for God

[Verse 9]
[D]
I can't believe I said that
I'm losing it
It's New Year's Eve at
the gates of hell
Let's party,
did I mention Jimmy Perkins
[D]Was a lying son of a bitch?

[Outro 1]
[G][D][D]
