Bat Out of Hell Meat Loaf
Notes:
Capo on I , its needed because there is a jump from D# to F thats quite
hard so I translated it.
This also makes it quite easy to play, but try it with out if can sing it
in that key.
The Instrumental parts where quite hard to work out and I am not sure if
they are total correct but the sound ok
played acoustically. I havent done any tab for the solos but if you wany
you can add the tab to this document,
but please leave the information above. Also please send me a copy of the
finished tab if you can I would be
grateful.
This song was transcribed on Easter Friday 1998
I must also thank you to Alex Pfaffinger, whose Heaven can wait song also
in the archive challenged me to
transcribe this. Its brilliant download it now.
I might work out the intro for this but I havent got any time at the moment
to do it.
:) Well Enjoy I hope its accurate I havent performed it yet.

He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh [A]Baby youre the only thing in this w[B]hole world

Oh I can see [A]myself tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever [E]gone
And my s[A]kin is raw but my soul is ripe
No ones gonna stop me now
I gotta make my e[E]scape,
But I [C]cant s[D]top thinking of y[E]ou

Slow
Then Im d[D]ying on the bottom of a p[E]it in the blazing s[F#m]un
[D]Torn and twisted and the [E]foot of a burning [F#m]bike
And I [G]think somebody some[A]where must be tolling a [Bm]bell
And the [D]last thing I [E]see is my [F#m]heart still [G7]beating[A]
B[F#]reaking out of my body , And [B]flying away
Like a bat out of [E]hell
Then Im d[G]ying at the bottom of a p[A]it in the blazing s[Bm]un

And I[D] think somebody some[E]where must be tolling a [F#m]bell
[G]And the last thing I [A]see is my [Bm]heart still [C]beating
Still beating, Still beating
[F#]Breaking out of my body and [B]flying away
Like a bat out of [E]hel[E]l[D] [A]
Like a bat out of [E]hel[E]l[D] [A]
[E]Like a bat out of hell

Like a bat out of hell

Like a bat out of hell
Slow it down
