Lord, now I'm sing (B flat major) in'
(E flat major) "Get me out of here" (B flat major) (E flat major)

To (B flat major) night I ride the lightning
To my final (F major) judgment day (B flat major) (E flat major)

A liquor store attendant (B flat major)
He was reachin' (E flat major) for his gun (B flat major)

I dropped my (B flat major) pistol on the floor
Yeah, I'd take it (E flat major) all back
