Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

We met in a bar / Out on Chesapeake Bay

With her white patent boots / and her blouse, red Leme

A tabletop dancer / She would smile on cue

Ah, those lips of an Angel / Angel in Blue

(Same progression as 1st verse)

She'd been dancing for ages / In cities of bars

She was kicking the habit / of scoring in cars

She'd been drained of her spirit / all caged up in a zoo

Ah, a wildcat Angel / Angel in Blue

And as she stared out into nowhere

I thought, yes I thought she might break down and cry

Oh, when I whispered I thought I could love her

She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try."

(Back to verse progression)

And I watched as she spoke / Her words chilled my bones

All her friends did her favors / that were really just loans

And she never had dreams / so they never came true

Ah, the palest of Angels / Angel in Blue

(Interlude: Guitar only)

And the bees they had stung her / the birds they had flown

There were guys she could number / but none had she known

And she never had dreams / so they never came true

Ah, my fade away Angel / Angel in Blue

(Outtro)
