Intro: C  C7  C 
 
I never read it in a book I never saw it in a show 
       C7                        C 
But I heard it in an alley on a weird radio 
                             F    C 
If you wanna drink of water 
 
You got to get it from the well 
                            F     C 
If you wanna get to heaven 
                               C7  C 
You gotta raise a little hell 
 
 
I never felt it in my feet I never felt it in my soul 
      C7                              C 
But I heard it in the alley now it's in my rock n roll 
                            F  C 
If you wanna know a secret 
 
You gotta promise not to tell 
                            F  C 
If you wanna get to heaven 
                               C7  C 
You gotta raise a little hell 
 
(let's raise a little hell, now!) 
 
solo  (intro chords) 
 
 
I never thought it'd be so easy never thought it'd be so fun 
       C7                          C 
But I heard it in the alley now I got it on the run 
                             F  C 
If you wanna see an angel 
 
You got to find it where it fell 
                             F  C 
If you wanna get to heaven 
                                C7  C 
You gotta raise a little hell 
 
solo (start slower, build up in C) 
 
 
If you wanna get to heaven 
If you wanna get to heaven 
If you wanna get to heaven 
If you wanna get to heaven 
                                 F  C 
You gotta raise a little hell
