Gm Bb Eb Bb Dm
Gm
In the middle of hell
Bb
lies a little St. Peter
Eb
in a hospital bed
Bb D Dm
burning up
Gm
With a cloth to his head
Bb
he is ridden by fever
Eb
and I can't even tell
Bb D
whether the demons have won
Cm F Gm
And his mother is there with his brother tied to her
Back
Eb Bb Fm Bb
praying as hard as she can to a god in a land that I
D
think he forgot
In the middle of hell
where death by mosquito
is as everyday as my coffee or your cigarette
Gm
And she says God bless me
D
she says God bless me
Bb
and I shake my head
Eb D
cause I can't see God in this hospital bed
Gm
She says God bless me
D
she says God bless me
Bb
and I look away
Eb Dm
but as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place
Gm
I pray
D
Amen
Bb Eb D
Amen
