[Intro]
Dm A7 Gm Dm A7 Dm
[Verse 1]
DmThe world is waking outside my window
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella A7ciao ciao ciao
Drags my Gmsenses into the sDmunlight
For there are A7things that I must Dmdo
[Verse 2]
DmWish me luck now, I have to leave you
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella A7ciao ciao ciao
With my fGmriends now up to Dmthe city
We're going to A7shake the Gates of DmHell
[Verse 3]
DmAnd I will tell them - we will tell them
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella A7ciao ciao ciao
That our Gmsunlight is not fDmor franchise
And wish the bA7astards drop down dDmead
[Outro]
DmNext time you see me I may be smiling
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella A7ciao ciao ciao
I'll be in pGmrison or on the TDmV
I'll say, "the suA7nlight dragged me hDmere!"
