Em Cmaj7 Am C (Em D Em) see below

In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels. in tab

C D G C Am

Their hair was a golden-brown ---

Am D D B Em

they didn't see me wink my eye.

Em D C (Em D Em)

`Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper,

C D G C Am D D B Em

And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger.

Em D C (Em D Em)

They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours.

C D G C Am D

And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers.

Solo (I haven't tried too hard here):

Em Cmaj7 Am C (Em D Em)

They grow all their roses red, and paint our skies blue ---

C D G C Am

drop one penny in every second bowl ---

Am D D B Em

make half the beggars lose,

Em D C (Em D Em)

why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something?

C D G C Am

And call it the name they choose,

Am D D B Em

having chosen nothing.

Solo (I haven't tried so hard here either):

|: Em D :|: Am D :|: D :|: E :|

(Something like this for "Think I'll sit down...")

Think I'll sit down and invent some fool --- some Grand Court Jester.

C D G C Am D D B Em

And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two.

In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel,

Her hair was a golden-brown --- she smiled and I think she winked her eye.
