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)
