I had three daughters, a new man for every one.
And the only man that I ever [A] loved, [E] left me with my only son.
I was no good mother, I was no good wife.
There's only one thing that I did [A] right in [E] this God forsaken life.
So [C#m] St.
Peter, I want you to open up the big [A] white gate.
[C#m] Cause I heard about forgiveness and [G#m] I hope it ain't [A] too late.
[C#m] No, I ain't no holy [B] roller.
[A] But you go tell your [F#m] king, that [D] all the folks up in heaven might [A] like to [E] hear me sing.
[A] [E] I sang to my children before they strayed so far.
I sang for my lover on a nipple in a tip jar.
I never knew Jesus, I never read the good book.
[A] [E] But on my day of dying, I'm giving life a second look.
Oh [C#m] St.
Peter, I want you [B] to open up the big [A] white gate.

[E] to see the land

[E] So next bring me my guitar, one more song.
Oh [C#m] St.
