Capo: 4th fret
Em G
The morning was cold and lonely
C G
City lights old and grey
C G
The sun arose trying to smile
Am B7
Gave it all away
Em G
The honky-tonk called a stranger
C G
The stranger couldn't pay the bill
C G
Made a stand, raised his hand
Am D
Sang a song, no time to kill
C D G
I said, Hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
C D G
I've got a tale to tell
C D G Em
I've just been down in New York town
C A
It really feels like hell
C D Em
It really feels like hell
Em G
Billy was out of fashion
C G
Manhattan was years ago
C G
Yesterday he wasted time
Am B7
Money was kind of slow
Em G
Billy had friends of glory
C G
Billy was a friend of fame
C G
Took a chance, raised his hand
Am D
Sang a song, now he's back in the game
C D G
I said, Hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
C D G
I've got a tale to tell
C D G Em
I've just been down in New York town
C A
It really feels like hell
C D Em
It really feels like hell
C D G
I said, Hey, hey, hey, St. Peter
C D G
I've got a tale to tell
C D G Em
I've just been down in New York town
C A
It really feels like hell
C D Em
It really feels like hell
