 E5    B5    A5      (Repeat 4 times)
..............................

     E5                                B5       A5     E5  B5  A5
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
E5                        B5    A5       E5  B5  A5
There once was a man who had enormous wings


Chorus:


C#5             B5                    A5
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
C#5            B5             A5
People came to see from all around
        E5          B5  A5
He was lying there
E5          B5  A5
He was lying there


E5               B5      A5               E5    B5  A5
His dreams are forever entangled in the mud
       E5      B5      A5       E5   B5  A5
He's an angel tangled in the mud
 E5                B5  A5           E5   B5  A5
Every soul you meet may be a stranger
       E5          B5       A5              E5      B5  A5
He's an angel, he must be coming for the children


Chorus:


C#5             B5                    A5
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
C#5            B5             A5
People came to see from all around
        E5          B5  A5
He was lying there

E5               C5                  A5                              E5
And though he'd like to sleep, the stars fall to the earth in heaps
             C5                           A5
And he's got tears in his eyes cause the town is filled
                 E5
with so many spies
                        C#5
They all avert their eyes

    B5                    A5
The rain had knocked him down
C#5            B5             A5
People came to see from all around

He was lying there
C#5             B5                    A5
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
        E5
He was lying there

E5    B5    A5       (Repeat twice)
.......................
     E5                                B5       A5      E5  B5  A5
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
       E5             B5  A5         E5
He's an angel who had enormous wings

There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
