Ordinary Angel (Greg and Pat Kane)
Opening Riff  A7        D/F#  G   A7   Many Times
Verse 1
A            D         A          D        F           G
I got the card, delivers the goods, fills me with happiness
A            D         A                       D       
It's joy for a while 'till the first of the month
F                           G
Then I'm chasing my tail again
A            D          A         F
I want a life that's bigger than me
            D                   F
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
A             D        F
Tell you what I don't need
    D            G
No heaven sent deity
Chorus        A            D            A         D      
'Cause I'm an ordinary angel, winning tiny victories
                 A     D    G     F             D         F
And though the ordinary angels fly, their wings weigh heavily
         A            D            A                    D      
I try to be a daily genius, there's no idea beyond my reach.
               A      D     G      F        D           F               A
With all the angels and the geniuses, my company I'm gonna keep, aah haa haa


Verse 2
A            D         A            D       F               G
I'm watching the news, & I feel my face, hanging like plasticene
A            D         A          D           F               G         
Now I see the plot, I've got the plan, every move is transparent to me
A            D        A          F             D                 F
Profit and power's turning the world, & I'm leaning against the spin
A            D     F          D           G
Give me a vision please, & I don't mean heavenly
Chorus    A       D          A          D      
I'm an ordinary angel, winning tiny victories
                 A          D    G     F          D        F
And though the ordinary angels fly, their wings weigh heavily
         A            D            A                    D      
I try to be a daily genius, there's no idea beyond my reach
               A      D     G      F       D          F            A
