Bm
I've been down with a broken heart
           E                Bm
Since the day I learned to speak
    Bm
The devil gave me a crooked start
         E               Bm
When he gave me crooked feet
    Bm
But Gabriel done came to me
     E               Bm
And kissed me in my sleep
            Bm
And I'll be singing like an angel
Until I'm six feet deep

  Bm                          E             Bm
I found myself an omen and I tattooed on a sign
   Bm                             E             Bm
I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line
     Bm
You have a mind to keep me quiet
    E                Bm
And although you can try
Bm
Better men have hit their knees
     F#             Bm
And bigger men have died

Chorus:
           A      Bm
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
            A           Bm
There's a story no one tells
           E      Bm
You gotta raise, raise hell
   F#       Bm
Go on now, ring that bell

You came upon a lightning strike
And eyes of bright clear blue
I took that tie from around my neck
And gave my heart to you
I sent my love across the sea
And though I didn't cry
That voice will haunt my every dream
Until the day I die

Chorus

I dug a hole inside my heart
To put you in your grave
At this point it was you and me
    F#7
And mama didn't raise no slave
    Bm
You took my face in both your hands
    F#                Bm
And looked me in the eye
    Bm
And I went down with such a force
That in your grave I lie

Chorus:
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
There's a story no one's telling
You gotta raise, raise hell
Go on and ring that bell
Go on and ring that bell
Go on and ring that bell
Go on and ring that bell
