G
Oh and Now
G
The end is near
GD
And I face that final curtain
G
So good-bye to strife
C
This is the last dance of my life
GDG
Lord of this I'm certain
G
I've been a sinner.
G
I've been a saint.
GD
Done both good and evil deeds.
GC
Oh, but in the end, I was good to my friends
GDG
and that's good enough for me.
G
Oh good Lord, they say all souls you forgive.
D
Well if that's true then why
G
does there need to be a hell?
GC
Hey, what's that sulfur-y smell?
GDG
Now I can feel, the fire, creepin' up my thigh.
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.
D
It's a Bohemian Rhapsody.
GC
Oh, Galileo, mamma mia, Scaramouche, Scaramouche.
GDG
Oh, Beelzebub's got a devil put aside for me.
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.
D
With my flesh they'll make a feast.
GC
I'm gonna be there in that number.
GDG
That's 666, the number of the beast.
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.
D
Well, at least I'll have a view.
GC
Oh, I will see the fire, through the rusty razor wire.
GDG
Oh, don't you worry, I saved a seat for You.
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.
D
And I might like it that way.
GC
No, this ain't no lie, I'd rather be Kentucky Fried
GDG
Than alive and kicking in Jersey any day
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.
D
I'd pray if I had the guile.
G
No, this ain't no fib
C
I'd rather be a splatter on the Devil's bib
GDG
'Cause on my knees repentent ain't my style.
G
I'm going to Hell, in a handbasket.
D
Oh please don't pray for me.
GC
No I don't need to be saved, of the devil I ain't afraid.
GDG
There ain't nothin' he can do that ain't already been done to me.
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.
D
And I'll have good company too.
GC
'Cause if I was so bad, then there's no need to be sad.
GDG
'Cause everybody else will be there too (including you)!

Oh, good Lord, I only ask you forgive
D
The self-righteous who deceive
G
When your words they twist,
C
We both know Hell don't exist,
GDG
Except in the minds of the poor fools who believe
