Judas Priest are pioneers of the Heavy Metal genre, and arguably created the &quot;Metal&quot; look. Priest were one of the bands that helped spur the heavy metal genres evolution by discarding most of its blues influence and created a &quot;metallic&quot; sound which inspired generations of metal bands to come. Judas Priest were one of the first heavy metal bands and are considered one of the most influential bands in the genre, helping the evolution of speed and thrash metal in the 80s.

Em
Well Ill be damned

Here comes your ghost again
               G
But thats not unusual
                   D
Its just that the moon is full
                   Em
And you decided to call

    Em
And here I sit
            C
Hand on the telephone
              G
Im hearing a voice Id known
            D
A couple of light years ago
                       Em
Heading straight for a fall



   C                            D
We both known what memories can bring
                        Em
They bring diamonds and rust   [2X]

      Bm          
Now I see standing with brown leaves falling all around

And snow in your hair
           Bm
Now youre smiling out of the window of that crummy hotel
                Am
Over Washington square
    C
Our breath comes out of white clouds
                         G
Mingles and hangs in the air
         FMaj7
Speaking stricity for me

We both could have died then and there  




Em
Now your telling me
         C
Your not nostalgic
             G
Then give me another word for it
               D
You who are so good with words
                   Em
And keeping things vague

 Em
Cos I need some of that vagueness now
                       C
Its all come back too clearly
                G
Yes I loved you dearly

Living After Midnight

This song, with its extremely simple main riff and chorus, was released as a single from the British Steel album, and was one of Judas Priest's big breakthrough songs. It is now considered one of the most famous Hard Rock/Heavy Metal songs ever.  The lyrics tell of someone who gets tired of everything that comes with an ordinary life - that life has become boring. This leads the person to take a chance and start breaking the law.  

&quot;Painkiller&quot; is the the first song on British metal band Judas Priest's 1990 album, Painkiller, and was released as the first single off the album later that year.  The song is about The Painkiller. The Painkiller himself is one of a series of fictional messiahs created by Judas Priest. He is described as a metal messiah sent to the world to destroy evil and rescue mankind from destruction. He is believed to be inspired by the fallen angel from the Sad Wings of Destiny album cover that Judas Priest recorded early in their musical years.

&quot;Electric Eye&quot; is an allusion to the book &quot;Nineteen Eighty-Four&quot; by George Orwell, in the use of the name of the satellite that always watches people. In this dystopia, the government, IngSoc (Newspeak for English Socialism), is utterly totalitarian, and if citizens are caught rebelling in any manner, they &quot;disappear&quot;.  The lyrics also include some humorous double entredres, such as the line &quot;I'm made of metal&quot;, sung by the satellite.

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D               Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
