Gloria
( big ole 3 chord vamp 700 500 000 )
Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine meltin' in a pot of thieves wild card up my sleeve
slick heart of stone my sins my own they belong to me, me
people say, "beware!" but I don't care the words are just rules and regulations to me, me
I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, where anything's allowed
and I go to this here party and I just get bored
until I look out the window, see a pretty young girl
humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
ooh I'll put my spell on her
here she comes walkin' down the street here she comes comin' through my door
here she comes crawlin' up my stair here she comes waltzin' through the hall
in a pretty red dress and oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
and I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
and then I hear this knockin' on my door hear this knockin' on my door
and I look up into the big tower clock and say, "oh my God it's midnight!"
and my baby is walkin' through the door leanin' on my couch
she whispers to me and I take the big plunge and oh, she was so good
and oh, she was so fine and I'm gonna tell the world
that I just ah-ah made her mine and I said, "darlin' --
Tell me you're mine" - she told me "you're mine" she whispered to me, she told me "you're mine"
Then the nightmare, then the nightmare, then the nightmare, then the nightmare - G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
And there at the stadium There were twenty thousand girls tried to make love to me
Marie, and Ruth, but to tell you the truth I didn't hear them, I didn't see
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock and I heard those bells chimin', made my heart go
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong. ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
Do you remember the time, when I came to your room
when you whispered to me, when you took the big plunge
and ohhh, you were so good, oh, you were so fine
and I gotta tell the world that I made you mine made you mine
made you mine made you mine made you mine made you mine
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
and the tower bells chime, and the tower bells chime, they're singing,
"Jesus died for somebody's sins ... but not mine."
