Dolly Parton - Mountain Angel guitar chord

capo 2

G C G C

Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born

G C G D

Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as golden as the corn

G C G C

They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried

G C D G

She was a mountain angel certified

G C G C

She was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pride

G C G C

Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried

G C G C

Everybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful life

G C D G

The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived

G C G

And ohh, she fell so deeply

G C G

Ooooh, she couldn't stop

G C G C

She gave herself to him, milled it completely

G C D G

He lifted her so high he let her drop

G C G C

She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life

G C G D

All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife

G C G C

She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house

G C D G

The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds

G C G C

The wicked handsome stranger left the way he came

G C

Broke her heart and broke her mind

G D

She never was the same

Em C

They say he was the devil

G C

That had come to steal her soul

G C D G

She never loved another it was told

G C

They say she had a baby

G C

Some say that it had died

G C

They it's just as well

G D

As it had been the devil's child

G C

They say good conquers evil

G C

But here, evil won the prize

G C D G

So the mountain angel took to the wild

G C G

And ooh, she couldn't take it

G C G

Years passed and she had long since lost her mind

G C G C

She waited for him as her beauty faded

G C D G

Her parents died from grief before their time

G C G C

She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit

G C G D

Beside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sit

G C G C

Talking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for sure

G C D G

Possessed they say by satan's insane lure

G C G C

High a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seen

G C G D

Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen

G C G C

She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play

G C D G

They'd see the crazy lady then run away

G C G C

They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch

G C G D

The lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witch

G C

She made those wailing mournful sounds

G C

That you could hear for miles

G C D G

Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died

G C G

And ooh, her ghost is callin'

G C G

She's waiting for the ones that she adored

G C G

Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'

G C D G

Her spirit roams these hills forever more

G C D G

The mountain angel's voices ever more
