Angel In Blue

[E]  [B]  [C#m]  [A]  [E]

[E]We met in a bar /  Out on Chesapeake [B]Bay

With her white patent b[C#m]oots /  and her blouse, red L[A]eme

A tabletop [E]dancer / She would smile on c[B]ue

Ah, those lips of an A[C#m]ngel /[A] Angel in B[E]lue

(Same progression as 1st verse)

She'd been dancing for ages / In cities of bars
She was kicking the habit / of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit / all caged up in a zoo
Ah, a wildcat Angel /  Angel in Blue

[C#m]And as she stared out into n[B]owhere

[C#m]I thought, yes I thought she might break down and [B]cry

Oh, when I [Abm]whispered I thought I could l[A]ove her

She just said "[E/G#]Baby, don't even bother to [B]try."

(Back to verse progression)

And I watched as she spoke /  Her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors / that were really just loans
And she never had dreams / so they never came true
Ah, the palest of Angels / Angel in Blue

(Interlude: Guitar only)

And the bees they had stung her / the birds they had flown
There were guys she could number / but none had she known
And she never had dreams / so they never came true
Ah, my fade away Angel / Angel in Blue

(Outtro)

[C#m]                [E]
