Intro: E4 E B C#m
A E B
C#m A E
E
We met in a bar
B
Out on Chesapeake Bay
C#m
With her white patent boots
A
And her blouse red lame
E
A table top dancer
B
She would smile on cue
C#m A
Those lips of an angel
E
Angel in blue
E
She's been dancing for ages
B
Though cities of bars
C#m
She was kickin' the habit
A
of scoring in cars
E
She'd been drained of her spirit
B
All caged in this zoo
C#m A
A wildcat angel
E
Angel in blue
C#m B
And as she stared out into nowhere
C#m B
I thought,yes,I thought she might break down and cry
G#m A
When I whispered I thought I could love her
E B
She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try"
E
And I watched as she spoke
B
Her words chilled my bones
C#m
All her friends did her favors
A
That were really just loans
E
And she never had dreams
B
So they never came true
C#m A
The palest of angels
E
Angel in blue
E
And the bees they had stung her
B
The birds they had flown
C#m
There were guys she could number
A
But none she had known
E
And she never had dreams
B
So they never came true
C#m A
My fade away angel
E C#m E
Angel in blue
