Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well it rained last night

and the stars shone bright

and way off yonder

we heard the whippoorwill.

At the first light of dawn

we heard that he was gone.

Our hearts was empty

and our eyes was filled.

Open the gates

welcome him in.

There's a brand new angel,

a brand new angel with old idea.

In music we heard

all the songs of the birds.

And he said that some songs

is like clear fall days.

But he played his last refrain

Oh but the song will remain.

Though he's put his bow down

And closed his case.

Open the gates

welcome him in.

There's a brand new angel,

a brand new angel with old violin.
