Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Gm Bb Eb Bb D
[Verse 1]
Gm
In the middle of hell
Bb
lies a little St. Peter
Eb
in a hospital bed
Bb D
burning up
[Verse 2]
Gm
With a cloth to his head
Bb
he is ridden by fever
Eb
and I can't even tell
Bb D
whether the demons have won
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm F Gm Gm/A Gm/Bb
And his mother is there with his brother tied to her back
Cm F Bb D
praying as hard as she can to a god in a land that I think he forgot
[Verse 3]
Gm
In the middle of hell
Bb
where death by mosquito
Eb Bb D
is as everyday as my coffee or your cigarette
[Chorus]
Gm
And she says God bless me
D
she says God bless me
Bb
and I shake my head
Eb D
cause I can't see God in this hospital bed
Gm
She says God bless me
D
she says God bless me
Bb
and I look away
Eb D
but as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place
Gm
I pray
D
Amen
Bb Eb D
Amen
[Verse 4]
Gm
I got plenty to give
Bb
but there's nothing to offer
Eb
and the little I brought
Bb D
comes far too late
[Verse 5]
Gm
But I urge him to leave
Bb
with a bottle of water
Eb
he is 7 years old
Bb D
sleeping outside pearly gates
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm F Gm Gm/A Gm/Bb
And his mother looks at me with eyes I will never let go
Cm F Bb D
they are angry and sad beyond measure and mad with a child-bearing love that I know
[Verse 6]
Gm
In the middle of hell
Bb
we just sit with each other
Eb
on a hospital bed
Bb D
begging for death to go home
[Chorus]
Gm
And she says God bless me
D
she says God bless me
Bb
and I shake my head
Eb D
cause I can't see God in this hospital bed
Gm
She says God bless me
D
she says God bless me
Bb
and I look away
Eb D
but as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place
Gm
I pray
D
Amen
Bb Eb D
Amen
[Verse 7]
Gm
In the middle of hell
Bb
lies a little St. Peter
Eb
in a hospital bed
Bb D
burning up
[Outro]
