Song: Prayer to St. Peter
Artist: Edwin McCain


Intro:  G,D,Em,C

         G                   D
Let them in Peter, For they are very tired
            Em                                  C
Give them couches where the angels sleep, And light those fires
                G               D
Let them wake whole again, To brand new dawns
 Em                               C
Fired by the sun, Not war-times bloody guns
            G                                 D
May their peace be deep, Remember where the broken bodies lie
     Em                            C
God knows how young they were, To have to die
           G                   D        Em            C
Well God knows how young they were, To have to die
            G                         D
Give them things they like, Let them make some noise
      Em                                     C
Give dance hall bands not golden harps, To these our boys
           G                      D
Let them love Peter, For they’ve had no time
                 Em                          C
They should have bird songs and trees, And hills to climb
               G              D
The taste of summer, And a ripened pear
     Em                               C
And girls sweet as meadow wind, And flowing hair
               G                        D
And tell them how they are missed, But say not to fear
      Em                 C                G
It’s gonna be all right,    With us down here
