Standard (EADGBE)

OR the easier way

Intro

I've been down with a broken heart since the day I learned to speak

The devil gave me a crooked start when he gave me crooked feet

But Gabriel he came to me and kissed me in my sleep

And now he's singing like an angel un-til I'm six feet deep

Verse 1

I found myself an old man and tattooed on a sign

I set my mind a-wanderin' and walk a crooked line

And you had in mind to keep me quiet and although you can try

Better men have hit their knees and bigger men have died

Chorus

You gotta raise, raise hell

There's a story no one tells

You gotta raise, raise hell

Come on now ring that bell

Verse 2

I came upon a lightning strike and eyes of bright clear blue

I took his tie from around my neck and gave my heart to you

I sent my love across the sea and though I didn't cry

That voice will haunt my every dream un-til the day I die

Chorus

I'm gonna raise, raise hell

There's a story no one tells

You gotta raise, raise hell

Verse 3

(no guitar)

I dug a hole inside my heart to put you in your grave

At this point it was you and me and mama didn't raise no slave

Bm(sm) Bm(sm) Bm(sm) Bm(sm) E(sm) E(sm) Bm(sm) x 4

You took my face in both your hands and looked me in the eye

And I went down with such a force that in your grave I'll lie

You gotta raise, raise hell

There's a story no one's tellin'

You gotta raise, raise hell

Come on now ring that bell

Come on now ring that bell

Come on now ring that bell

Come on now ring that bell
