Abm                      B
The morning was cold and lonely
E/B                 B
City lights old and grey
E/B           B
The sun arose trying to smile
C#m            Eb7
Gave it all away
Abm                     B
The honky-tonk called a stranger
E/B                   B
The stranger couldn't pay the bill
E/B           B
Made a stand, raised his hand
C#m          F#
Sang a song, no time to kill


        E         F#       B
I said, Hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
E          F#      B
I've got a tale to tell
E              F#      B        Abm
I've just been down in New York town
E                    C#/F
It really feels like hell
E         F#         Abm
It really feels like hell


Abm              B
Billy was out of fashion
E/B                 B
Manhattan was years ago
E/B          B
Yesterday he wasted time
C#m               Eb7
Money was kind of slow
Abm                  B#
Billy had friends of glory
E/B                   B
Billy was a friend of fame
E/B            B
Took a chance, raised his hand
C#m                   F#
Sang a song, now he's back in the game

        E         F#       B
I said, Hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
E          F#      B
I've got a tale to tell
E              F#      B        Abm
I've just been down in New York town
E                    C#/F
It really feels like hell
E         F#         Abm
It really feels like hell



        E         F#        Abm
I said, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
E         F#        Abm
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
E         F#        Abm
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
E                    C#/F
It really feels like hell
E         F#         Abm   
It really feels like hell
