G
And I wish I knewwwwwwww,  right from wrong
           D
Instead of puttin’ it, in all these songs
G
And each time I drown, my sorrow and drink
            D                 G
It isn’t of your face, that I think

G             C                G
Well I’m on a road, to heavens gate
G            C            G
And I know I made, my own fate
G       Am                    C7-1                      G                  And I’m 
please Saint Peter, yeah Have mercy on me

And you know I tried, but I could not be true
And everything I have, I’ve given it to you
And I know its wrong, it’s such a waste
And I should have taken, the narrow and straight

Well I could have been, sent from above
If I only had, someone like made of love
And thinking, please Saint Peter, Yeah have mercy on me
G      C     G        C      G      
           C7-2    G
If you will, be pious proud, If you will I won’t cry out loud

And you know I tried, but I could not be true
Everything I have, I’ve given it to you
And I know its wrong, it’s such a waste
And I should have taken, the narrow and straight

Well I’m on a road, to heavens gate
And I know I made, my own, fate
And I’m beggin’, please Saint Peter, Have mercy on me
If you will, be pious proud, If you will I won’t cry out loud
