Bat Out of Hell Lyrics

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
I transposed it down so that a normal person can sing it.
The high notes at the end went from a high C to a G.
If you want to sing it in the original key, use a capo on 5th fret
This is a big song with many parts,
work through it part by part and check out my video to get how it's meant to be played
chords:
C G F C6 Bbx Em F/A Dm Dm7 Cs Bb Fs D#s F4 D#* Cx Gm G5 Gx C4
* you can play the D# with barré too, this one is just easier
Fills:
Fill1 Fill2 Fill3 Fill4
Intro:
C G F F->G->C G F (you can whistle the guitar solo melody)
Verse 1 (picked)
The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
ill1
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
Down in the gutter, he was starting to foam in the heat
Pre-Chorus (picked)
Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
ill1
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
ill1
When it's over you know, We'll both be so alone
Chorus (strummed)
ill2
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone
ill1
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done, And the sun goes down
And moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
2x Fill 3
Verse 2 (strummed)
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
ill2
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And we're all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
ill1
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks, And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost
Bridge 1 (strummed)
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you
4x Cs Bb Fs D#s
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you
You can try to make some kind of motor sound by slowly sliding up on the lower strings first
and land on a C which climbs into the solo chords:
I can see myself tearing up the road
su
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe
No one's gonna stop me now I gotta make my escape
But I can't stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late
4x Cx G F C
And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating
I'm breaking out of my body and flyin away
Like a bat out of hell
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
ill4
Still beating, still beating
Breaking out of my body and flyin away Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell (repeat 3 times low, 4 times with high singing)
Outro (picked)
