G5                            G5      F5                   F5 
  She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving train 
G5                       G5            F5           F5 
  Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain 
E5              E5                     A5                  A5 
  Seemed like a good time at the time, rolling down that track 
E5               E5                A5               A5 
  Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back 
  

       D5                  B5            D5                B5 
SheUs a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired 
    D5               B5              G5             B5 
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired 
          D5                        B5               D5                 B5 
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things 
           D5              B5             G5                 A5 
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings 
                 G5             G5       F5       F5 
Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh

{instrumental; see tab at end for one riff} 
  
She's so very hungry for a piece of Mama's pie 

Served up on Grandma's china after church on Sunday night 

Oh, now Papa's probably turning out the lights and heading up the stairs 

And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers 
  
She's a homeward looking angel and she must be feeling mighty tired 

Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired 

And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things 

And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings 
  

       C5    D5    G5    A5    A5 
Oh, yeah... {instrumental} 
          F5                F5 
There's a road ahead and a road behind 
G5                  A5             A5 
All roads lead to home this time 
  
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired 
She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired 
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things 
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings 
Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh 
Homeward looking angel
