Oh and Now
G
The end is near

This is the last dance of my life
G D G
Lord of this I'm certain

I've been a sinner.

Oh, but in the end, I was good to my friends

and that's good enough for me.

does there need to be a hell?
G C
Hey, what's that sulfur-y smell?

Now I can feel, the fire, creepin' up my thigh.

I'm going to Hell, in a handbasket.

G D G
There ain't nothin' he can do that ain't already been done to me.
G
I'm going to Hell in a handbasket.

G D G
'Cause everybody else will be there too (including you)!
