C5                            D5
She came to me shortly after Christmas
F5              G5                 C5
Said she hated sport & New Year's Eve
        C5                             D5
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
  F5           G5               C5
& what we had feared was now believed
                                 D5
She said she'd leave come Monday mornin'
F5             G5               C5
Catch a plane if I'd split the fare
                                     D5
She said she had friends in New York City
      F5              G5            C5
She'd look them up & have the baby there

    F5                           C5
And now she's alone in New York City
F5                         C5
Livin' like Lord I wonder how
   A5                        D5
An angel in hell in New York City
F5       G5               C5
I can't think about that now

D5                              E5
Honey, will you tell him Bible stories
  G5                A5           D5
& give him all the love I never could?
                                      E5
But never tell him too much about his daddy
       G5           A5                 D5
'Cause there's not much to say that's good
                                    E5
He'll have to learn it all from his mother
G5              A5        D5
How to count & say his ABC's
                                       E5
& when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime
G5                    A5                D5
Leave out "God bless daddy," won't you please?

    G5                             D5
And now they're alone in New York City
G5                         D5
Livin' like Lord I wonder how
  B5                         E5
2 angels in hell in New York City
G5       A5               D5
I can't think about that now
G5       A5               D5     D5
I can't think about that now
