Key: 'G'

🤘 Intro: D MajorD

     D MajorD
I left alone my mind was blank
C majorC                 D MajorD
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind.
       D MajorD
What did I see, can I believe
C majorC                  D MajorD
that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.

       D MajorD
Just what I saw in my old dreams
C majorC                 D MajorD
were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
       D MajorD
Cos in my dreams it's always there
C majorC                    D MajorD
the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair.

D MajorD     C majorC  D MajorD
 Yeeeah

   D MajorD
The night was black was no use holding back
                  C majorC    D MajorD
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
D MajorD
In the mist dark figures move and twist
                C majorC    D MajorD
was all this for real or some kind of hell

 C majorC    G+G    C majorC       D MajorD
Six-six-six the Number of the Beast
 C majorC    G+G    C majorC        D MajorD
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

 D MajorD
Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased
                 C majorC    D MajorD
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
D MajorD
In the night the fires are burning bright
                C majorC    D MajorD
the ritual has begun
Satan's work is done

 C majorC    G+G    C majorC       D MajorD
Six-six-six the Number of the Beast
 C majorC  G+G    C majorC     D MajorD
Sacrifice is going on tonight

   D MajorD
This can't go on I must inform the law
                 C majorC   D MajorD
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
   D MajorD
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
                 C majorC     D MajorD
they seem to mesmerise  can't avoid their eyes

 C majorC    G+G    C majorC       D MajorD
Six-six-six the Number of the Beast
 C majorC    G+G    C majorC       D MajorD
Six-six-six the one for you and me

      D MajorD
I'm coming back
I will return.
     C majorC                 D MajorD
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn.
      D MajorD
I have the fire
I have the force
C majorC               D MajorD
I have the power to make my evil take its course.
