Matraca Berg - If I Were An Angel guitar chord

If I Were An Angel

from 'Sunday Morning to Saturday Night'

C F

They say I latched onto you

C G

Like you was the last train leaving town

C F

But you just kept on moving boy

G

Left me here to live you down

F G C F

Mama said she'd send a wire and cried on the phone

C F

Said you'll always be my angel girl

G

Won't you come back home

Chorus

C G F C

If was an angel, I'd fly over Jordan

C G F G

Wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul

C F C F

Maybe that's a good thing, I'll be home before I know

C F G C

'Cause if I was an angel, I'd have a long way to go

Got a job as a waitress

In this God forsaken place

Guess there's no choosing where you land

When you fall grace

I'm not sure what keeps me here, my shame or my fool pride

Neither one can give me wings

Or offer me a ride

Chorus

F G F C C F

Oh, tonight I'll be dreaming of the cracks in the sidewalk

C F C F G F

The face through the window, back to the place I belong

G F

Ooh

Chorus

F C F C G

Well maybe that's a good thing, I'll be home before I know

C F G C

And I was an angel, I'd have a long to way go

C F G C
