I guess I'll never know my father,
F5            F5                C5
My memory don't go back that far
F5         F5                          C5
They just put me on a train bound for somewhere
    G5                      F5                    F5
And all these years later a lump comes to my heart

C5         E5                F5  F5
I met her once at Waterloo Station
C5         E5                F5  F5     
Said I reminded her of him
C5         E5                               F5  F5
I spoke to my sister then and sang to the nation
C5         E5                        F5  F5
Well I guess I just lost track of the years

C5    G5    F5      F5
Even angels have bad days
C5               G5                      F5      F5
And if you're alone you never really are
C5               G5              F5      F5
Just know had circumstances been different
C5          G5           F5      F5
I would be with you, love mama

C5         E5                F5  F5
I found her number in the library
C5         E5                F5  F5
I must have dialed it a thousand times
C5         E5                F5  F5
But I still get the same answer
C5         E5                F5  
The old lady who lived here, she disappeared
   F5
Maybe she died

C5    G5    F5      F5
Even angels have bad days
C5               G5                      F5      F5
And if you're alone you never really are
C5               G5              F5      F5
Just know had circumstances been different
C5          G5           F5      F5
I would be with you, love mama

C5         E5                            F5  F5
She said she had a brother in Virginia Waters
C5         E5                F5  F5
He played the fiddle on the side
C5         E5                                F5  F5
She said maybe that's where you get your music (uh huh)
C5         E5                        F5  F5
But that's also where the trail just died


C5    G5    F5      F5
Even angels have bad days
C5               G5                      F5      F5
And if you're alone you never really are
C5               G5              F5      F5
Just know had circumstances been different
C5          G5           F5      F5
I would be with you, love mama

C5         E5              F5                F5
So if you hear this Jean Russel, or Jimmy Palace?
C5         E5                    F5  F5
Just know I'm out here doing fine
C5         E5                    F5  F5
And maybe if the moment finds you
C5         E5                    F5  F5
You could always come my way or drop me a line


C5    G5    F5      F5
Even angels have bad days
C5               G5                      F5      F5
And if you're alone you never really are
C5               G5              F5      F5
Just know had circumstances been different
C5          G5           F5      F5
I would be with you, love mama
