[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
