Intro:  E5  B5  C#5  A5  E5

E5                                    B5
We met in a bar /  Out on Chesapeake Bay

                       C#5                          A5
With her white patent boots /  and her blouse, red Leme

           E5                            B5
A tabletop dancer / She would smile on cue

                      C#5   A5          E5
Ah, those lips of an Angel / Angel in Blue


(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#5                         B5            
And as she stared out into nowhere

C#5                                               B5
I thought, yes I thought she might break down and cry

           Ab5                          A5
Oh, when I whispered I thought I could love her

               E5                       B5
She just said "Baby, don't even bother to 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#5                E5
