[Intro]
C G C
[Verse 1]
CBe that as it Emay,    be that as it Ammay not Fbe!
CJesus was a Union elEectrician   by the Amsea of GaliFlee.
He Clit up the first moving Epic   to just bAmrighten up the Fshow.
Will you Cbe there    in the Glast Cvideo?
CBe that as it Emay,    Ambe that as it mFight!
CJesus shot an eight millimeEter,      he preferred the Amblack and Fwhite.
He said, do not pClay up to the Elens, boys and girls,     just Amgive me what you Fknow
and will you Cbe   in the Glast Cvideo?
[Chorus]
Will you bCe there in the lEast vidAmeo?F  
Will your nCame be on the roll  cEall    at the eAmnd, my fFriend?
Where the Cangels, and the gEamblers, and the Amprisoners come and Fgo?
Will you bCe there   in the lGast vCideo?
[Bridge Harmonica]
 C E Am F         C G C
[Verse 2]
Said, CI need tough guys, I neEed wise guys    by the Amscene   down by the dFocks.
I need Ccard counters, and Estrip club bouncers,  AmBrunettes and goldFilocks
I need world lCeaders, bird Efeeders,   I need Amundertakers and sFuch.
And some Calley whores   will be tEhanking you, Lord,   and Amsome will love, and you Fwill not touch.
And go, Cfix your hair   and Emake up chin    So you, Amyou earn yourself a Fglow
And I will Csee    in the laGst viCdeo
[Chorus]
Will you bCe there in the lEast vidAmeo?F  
Will your nCame be on the roll  cEall    at the eAmnd, my fFriend?
Where the aCngels, and the gaEmblers, and the pAmrisoners    and the cFhiselers
And the hCustlers, midnight ruEstlers, subterranAmeans and new ukrainiaFns
And the jCokers, ego smEokers, the ball pAmlayers, the sooth sFayers
The lone raCngers, the tall sEtrangers  and the sAmons of Hermann HaFll
Will you bCe there in the laGst viCdeo
[Verse 3]
CBe that as it Emay,    be Amthat as it may not Fbe!
CSome of us get in the Eway   of this,    oh, Amlook at you and Fme!
And screw Call the perfect Epeople!    Jesus said Amthat long Fbefore,
will you Cbe there in the laGst viCdeo?
[Chorus]
Will you bCe there in the lEast vidAmeo?F  
Will your nCame be on the roll  cEall    at the eAmnd, my fFriend?
Where the Cangels, and the gEamblers, and the Amprisoners come and Fgo?
Will you Cbe there   in the Glast Cvideo?
