Chris De Burgh - Saint Peter's Gate Chords

Capo 4

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
