Capo on 2nd fret Intro Am Am 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 done came to me D Am And kissed me in my sleep And I'll be singing like an angel Am Until I'm six feet deep Am D Am I found myself an omen and I tattooed on a sign D Am I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line You have a mind to keep me quiet D Am And although you can try Better men have hit their knees E Am And bigger men have died G Am I'm gonna raise, raise hell G Am There's a story no one tells D Am You gotta raise, raise hell D E Am Go on and ring that bell Am You came upon a lightning strike D Am And eyes of bright clear blue I took a tie from around my neck D Am And gave my heart to you I sent my love across the sea D Am And though I didn't cry That voice will haunt my every dream E Am Until the day I die G Am I'm gonna raise, raise hell G Am There's a story no one tells D Am You gotta raise, oh raise hell D Em Am Go on and ring that bell I dug a hole inside my heart To put you in your grave At this point it was you and me E7 And mama didn't raise no slave Am You took my face in both your hands E Am And looked me in the eye And I went down with such a force That in your grave I lie G Am I'm gonna raise, raise hell G Am There's a story no one tells D Am You gotta raise, raise hell D Em Am Go on and ring that bell D Em Am Go on and ring that bell D Em Am Go on and ring that bell D Em Am Go on and ring that bell
