My Angeline Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CAngelina Baker, lived just down the stAmreet

CAnd my my heart would set to achin’ every time we chanced to mAmeet

CAlthough she’s now another’s, I still recall the tAmime

CWhen my little AAmngie swore that sDmhe’d always be mCine

CTemper of a fury, Irish born and bAmred

CSkin of cream and roses, and her hair was curly Amred

CShe could sing just like a songbird, in a sweet magnolia JAmune

CAnd she could play upon a yAmoung man’s heart, like sDmawin’ on a fiddle tCune

CWell the ocean is a mistress, once she gets in the vAmeins

CAnd to live a life without her Lord, would drive a man inAmsane

CMy Angeline grew jealous, said it’s either her or Amme

CAnd she cursed my name in a lAmast farewell, asDm I set out to sCea

CFor ten long years I terried, in every port of cAmall

CTryin’ to forget that gal of mine, wouldn’t do no good at Amall

CSo I went to beg her pardon, and make another sAmtart

CJust to find my AngAmeline had dDmied of a broken heCart

CBut if you hand me down my banjo son, I do believe I’ll pAmlay
