Bat Out Of Hell chords by Meat Loaf (Ver. 2)

Eb    F                           Bb
 The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
    F
Way Down in the valley tonight,
Eb       F                         Am
Ther'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
And a killer on the bloodshot streets,
        F                           C
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
       Bb
Oh, I sear I saw a young boy down in the gutter:
       Bbmaj7                   C   C11  C  C11
He was starting to foam in the heat.

   Bb                             C
Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
       F                 Bb
That's pure and good and right
                             C
And wherever you are and wherever you go
         Bb                  F
There's always gonna be some light
      Bb                     C
But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
Dm                        Bb
Before the final crack of Dawn.
       F                          C
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
           Bb                                C    C11  C  C11
When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone.

       F
Like a bat out of hell
        Bb                    F
I'll be gone when the morning comes.

When the night is over
       Am                      Bb    F/A   Gm
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone.
       F
Like a bat out of hell
        C                     Bb
I'll be gone when the morning comes
             F                   C
But when the day is Down and the sun goes down
         Bb                  Gm       Am Bb C
And the moonlight's shining through,
             F         Am       Dm       F
Then like a sinner, before, the gates of heaven
          Bbmaj7      F/A     Gm
I'll come crawling on back to you.

    F                            Bb
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering man
     F
On a silver black phantome bike,
                              Am
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
          Bb
And we're all about to see the light
F                          C
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,
    Dm                   C   Bb
And everything is stuned and lost
     F                        C
And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls
     Bb            C         F
And nothing's ever worth the cost

      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
But with every other beat I've 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 want to be damned
 Bb                 C          F
Dancing through the night with you/
                                      C
Well if I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned,
F                          Bb
Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
F                          C
Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Bb                  C       Bb                   C
Dancing through the night, Dancing through the night,
Bb                  C          F
Dancing through the night with you

 Bb                             C
Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
       F                 Bb
That's pure and good and right
                             C
And wherever you are and wherever you go
         Bb                  F
There's always gonna be some light
      Bb                     C
But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
Dm                        Bb
Before the final crack of Dawn.
       F                          C
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
           Bb                                C    C11  C  C11
When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone.


       F
Like a bat out of hell
        Bb                    F
I'll be gone when the morning comes.

When the night is over
       Am                      Bb    F/A   Gm
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone.
       F
Like a bat out of hell
        C                     Bb
I'll be gone when the morning comes
             F                   C
But when the day is Down and the sun goes down
         Bb                  Gm       Am Bb C
And the moonlight's shining through,
             F         Am       Dm       F
Then like a sinner, before, the gates of heaven
          Bbmaj7      F/A     Gm
I'll come crawling on back to you.

   Bb
I can see myself tearing up the road
                              F
Faster than any other boy has ever gone.
        Bb
And my skin is raw, but my soul is ripe,

And no one's gonna stop me now,
                   F          Eb           Bb          F
I'm gonna make my escape but I can't stop thinking of you,
      Ab                    Eb                       F
And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late.

         Eb                        F                 Gm
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun,
Eb                      F                 Gm
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike,
        Ab               Bb                     Cm
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
        Eb           F           Gm         Eb
And the last thing I see is my heart, still beating,
         Gm                 Cm          C
Breaking out of my body and flying away
                      Fsus4 F
Like a bat out of hell.
