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.

Bb C11 Bb C11

  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

[Interlude]

 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.

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.

  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.
