BAT OUT OF HELL - MEAT LOAF INTRO: (E Guitar) Eb F Eb F (+Piano) Eb F Eb F VERSE 1: Eb F Bb The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling, F Way down in the valley tonight. Eb F Am There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye, Bb And a blade shining oh so bright. F C There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky, Dm C Bb (Fill) And a killer's on the bloodshot streets. F C Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising, Dm Bb/D Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter. Bb/D C Bb/C C Bb/C He was starting to foam in the heat. BRIDGE 1: Bb C Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world, F Bb That's pure and good and right. Bb C And wherever you are and wherever you go, Bb Bb/C F There's always gonna be some light. Bb C But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now, Dm Bb (Fill) Before the final crack of dawn. F C So we gotta make the most of our one night together. Bb Bb C Bb/C C Bb/C C When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone. CHORUS 1: F Bb F (Fill) Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes. F Am When the night is over, like a bat out of hell, Bb Am Gm (Fill) I'll be gone, gone, gone. F C Bb Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes. (Slower) Bb C Bb/D C/E F C But when the day is done and the sun goes down, Bb Bb F/A Gm7 F/A Bb C And moonlight's shining through. LINK 1: (Calmer) F Am/E Dm F Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, Bb Bb/A Gm7 Bb C Bb C I'll come crawling on back to you. VERSE 2: (A Tempo) F Bb I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram, F (Fill) On a silver black phantom bike. F Am When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry, Bb (Fill) And we're all about to see the light. F C Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole, Dm C Bb (Fill) Everything is stunted and lost. F C And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls, Bb Bb/C F And nothing's ever worth the cost. BRIDGE 2: Bb C F And I know that I'm damned if I never get out, Bb C F And maybe I'm damned if I do. Bb C Dm (Fill) But with every other beat I got left in my heart, Bb C F You know I'd rather be damned with you. F C If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned, Bb C F Dancing through the night with you. F C If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned. F Bb9 Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned. F C If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned. Bb C Dancing through the night, Bb C Dancing through the night, Bb C F F (Gliss.) Dancing through the night with you.
