Six-sixty-six

( written by larry norman ) G in the midst of the war , he offered us peace , C G and he came like a lover , from out of the east , with the face of an angel and the heart of a beast , C D G his intentions were six - sixty - six . G he walked up to the temple , with gold in his hands , C G and he bought off the priests and propositioned the land , and the world was his harlot , and laid in the sand , C D G while the band played six - sixty - si xg we served at his table , and we slept on the floor , C G but he starved us and beat us , and nailed us to the door well , i’m ready to die , i can’t take any more C D G and i’m sick of his lies and his tricks Solo chords : G C G C D G G he told us he loved us , but that was a lie , C there was blood in his pockets G and death in his eyes well , my number is up , and i’m willing to die C D if the band will play si x C D if the band will play six - sixty C D G if the band will play six - sixty - six
