Saint Peter'S Gate chords by Chris de Burgh, Chris Rea
Verse 1
Em
I was lost in the dark,
and the fear was in my heart
D
C
All around me, the forest and the rain
Em
Then with the flash of a light,
Am
I saw it in the night
D
I must be getting near
Em
St. Peter's Gate
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
He said, I've been expecting you,
Am
let me show you to your room
D
And he took me all the way
Em
by candlelight
D
And lying there on the bed,
A
a book black and red
C
B
My name was written on the front in gold
Em
And when I opened it up,
Am
there were pictures of my life
D
And a voice began a call
Em
from down below
C
Nobody will get through,
G
nobody, not even you
D
Em
Can't escape the judgment day
C
Nobody will be spared
G
Heaven is only there
Am
For the ones who satisfy
Bsus4
B
their mind
Em
Am
Em
D
Em
St. Peter's Gate
Come with me said that old man
Am
As he took me by the hand
Em
D
There is someone here
Em
that you have seen before
In this room on the left
Am
A man who did his best
D
To bring joy and happiness
Em
to one and all
D
But in that room on the right
A
A dictator in life
C
We've been waiting for him here
Bsus4
As you can tell
B
Em
For all the blood he spilled
Am
And for all the ones he's killed,
D
Em
we condemn him to eternity in hell
C
Nobody will get through,
G
nobody, not even you
D
Em
Can escape the judgment day
C
Nobody will be spared,
G
heaven is only there
Am
Bsus4
For the ones who satisfy their mind
B
Em
St. Peter's Gate
Am
Em
D
C
Em
I woke up with the dawn
Am
There was someone in my room
Em
D
Em
A woman like an angel all in white
And then she told me
You must run,
Am
for your time has yet to come
D
Em
Go now, before they change their minds
D
And from the window I saw
A
A thousand or more
C
B
Bringing that dictator to his knees
Em
And his cries broke the sound
Am
Of my footsteps on the ground
D
As I made it to the safety
Em
D
of the trees
C
Nobody will get through,
G
nobody, not even you
D
Em
Can escape the judgment day
C
Nobody will be spared,
G
heaven is only there
Am
B
For the ones who satisfy their life
Em
Am
Em
D
A
St. Peter's Gate
G
C
Nobody will get through,
G
nobody, not even you
D
Em
Can't escape the judgment day
C
Nobody will be spared,
G
heaven is only there
Am
B
For the ones who satisfy their mind
Em
Am
Em
D
C
St. Peter's Gate
D
Em
Same thing is getting better
And I'm waiting
