RIFF

The progression of notes is as follows: C D C B C A G G

I haven't been able to duplicate the riff at the speed Jewel does it, but

my slow-motion approximation sounds like this:

E-------------------| p - pull off

B-------------------| h - hammer on

G-------------------|

D----0--------------|

A--3---3p2h3p0------|

E--------------3-3--|

The chord progression C Am G is a decent substitute for this bit.

INTRO

C C2 C riff G G6 G7

CHORUS 1

C C2 C F G C C2 C

Said, "Angel, Do you want a ride?"

C G F G

Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely

F G C C2 C riff G G6 G7

And I need somebody by my side"

VERSE 1

C C2 C

It's a long road

G

that stretched from Vegas to nowhere

C C2 C

But it'd been an even longer time

G G6 G7

Since he found some piece of mind

C C2 C

And he lived off of bubblegum and cigarettes

G

And got his nourishment from all-night stores

C C2 C

Thought he'd just keep on driving

G G6 G7

Til he outdrove his sorrow

CHORUS 2

He said, "Angel, Oh do you want a ride?"

Said "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely

And I need somebody by my side"

VERSE 2

Her feet were worn and tired

But as restless as her soul

She left with no regrets

But also no possessions did she own

Her heart was as fragile as

her thin, loving arms

She's praying to God to take away her lonely

When he pulled over on the side of the road

CHORUS 3

And he said, "Angel, Oh do you want a ride?"

Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely

And I need somebody by my side"

VERSE 3

The highway goes on forever

I've seen a thousand men like him before

And I've seen a thousand angels that

Got into the car

They're just a couple of lost souls

Looking to rekindle some sort of forgotten dream

I hope they find what they're looking for

In the solace of the road

CHORUS 4

C C2 C F G C C2 C

They said, "Angel, Do you want a ride?"

C G F G

Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely

F G

I'm tired and I'm lonely

F G

I'm tired and I'm lonely

F G

And I need to have somebody

C

By my angel"
