[Intro] D A E A [Verse] A E Oh, I think there’s is a likeness ’twixt St. Peter’s life and mine, A For he did a lot of trampin’ long ago in Palestine. A7 D He was ‘union’ when the workers first began to organise, A E A And I’m glad that old St. Peter keeps the gates of Paradise. [Verse] A E When the ancient agitator and his brothers carried swags, A I’ve no doubt he very often tramped with empty tucker-bags; A7 D And I’m glad he’s Heaven’s picket, For I hate explainin’ things, A E A And he’ll think a union ticket just as good as Whitely King’s. [Verse] A E When I reach the great head-station Which is somewhere off the track A I won’t want to talk with angels Who have never been out back; A7 D They might bother me with offers of a banjo meaning’ well A E A And a pair of wings to fly with, When I only want a spell. Oh yeah. [Instrumental] A E A A A7 D D A E A [Verse] A E I’ll just ask for old St. Peter, And I think, when he appears, A I shall only have to tell him That I carried swag for years. A7 D ‘I’ve been on the track,’ I’ll tell him, ‘An’ I done the best I could,’ A E A he’ll understand me better Than the other angels would. [Verse] A E He won’t try to get a chorus Out of lungs that’s worn to rags, A Or to graft the wings on shoulders stiff with humpin’ tucker-bags A7 D But I’ll rest about the station Where a work-bell never rings, A E A Till they blow the final trumpet, And the Great Judge sees to things. [Verse] A E Oh, I think there’s is a likeness ’twixt St. Peter’s life and mine, A For he did a lot of trampin’ long ago in Palestine. A7 D He was ‘union’ when the workers first began to organise, A E A And I’m glad that old St. Peter keeps the gates of Paradise. [Tag] E A A Oh yes, I’m glad that old St. Peter keeps the gates of Paradise.
