Hank's Angel
View chords used in this chart
D Em
This old guitar's playin' harder
G D
And I'm still rollin' with the thunder
Em G A Asus2 A
I've learned to dance with the lightning bolts
Asus2 Em
But the dreams so clear in the morning lights
G D
Can blind you at midnight
Em Em/F# G
'Til angels and devils look the same
G A D
Leaves you with nothing but the rain
[Refrão]D G
But if I had Hank's angel
D
With them lips of sweet morphine
Em
Get me stoned down in Hank's Cadillac
G D
Drive us both down to New Year's Eve
G
But I'm wasted on these city streets
D
Rank strangers stand unkind
C
The only place I find an angel
G D
Is a bottle at a time
I've got the moon still here to guide me
Finds me like my ex-best friend
Shines a thin pale light beside me
Down on regret, what might have been
But he won't send me no more angels
Man I wasted all of mine
I left them walking down that lost highway
In The miles I left behind
Chorus
