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
