Ray Wylie Hubbard - New Years Eve At The Gates Of Hell Chords

[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
  It's New Year's Eve at the gates of hell
         D
Give the Antichrist a cigarette and tell him
    D
The boys are here all the way from Oklahoma
D
  Oh Lord, what the hell is that aroma?
C                            G
  It's Jimmy Perkins and the other sons-of-b**ches
    D
Who ripped off musicians and they stole their riches
        D
They're burning over yonder with the Fox News whores
     D
And,    oh look, is that the singer for The Doors?
D
Nope, my mistake 'cause no matter what they did
         D
Poets deserve to be in heaven; and by the way, kid
C                    G
Why am I here when I wasn't that bad?
       D
I just didn't like churches but I never wore plaid
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
      D
Now I know I'm funky and strip bar dirty
      D
And I like a Les Paul through a Vox AC30
D
  There's something 'bout a lipstick pickup
D
Plugged right into a Blond Tremolux
  C                     G
I guess I deserve to be burned alive
        D
Since I pawned my '59 ES 335
    D
And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic
      D
But I never threw away my Panasonic
  D
I kept that turntable through my divorce
D
Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse
      C                       G
Drunk out of my mind singing "Tonight's The Night"
           D
It was as lethal on vinyl as China White
 
 
[Interlude]
D
 
 
[Verse 3]
    D
Now maybe one time I used an Ouija board
      D
And I never learned to make a B-flat chord
D
So I got a double-headed snake tattoo
  D
I love Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu
    C                          G
The action and the motion of a roulette wheel
      D
And a woman walking away in a pair of high heels
    D
Now once I drew to an inside straight flush
      D
And I wished I could sing like Otis Rush
    D
The truth of the matter is I really can't sing
    D
But I can quote Martin Luther King
    C                       G
His words are stronger than angel dust is
     D
"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice"
 
 
[Interlude]
D
 
 
[Verse 4]
    D
Now back to New Year's Eve at the gates of hell
     D
It's kinda like the Beverly Hills Hotel
   D
If you can get a table next to the fire
  D
A sign says "Jacket and tie required"
    C                       G
The devil is bad and God of course is good
    D
But there's one thing I never understood:
    D
God throws us down in hell for all our sins
D
Burning in a fire and it never ends
    D
The decision is made at the highest level
      D
Seems God outsources his work to the devil
     C                G
Like he's an employee on the vice squad
   D
Appears like the devil is working for God
 
 
[Outro]
D
I can't believe I said that
D
I'm losing it
D
Did I mention Jimmy Perkins is a lying son of a b**ch?
D
Oh, that's good
