Farewell Angelina

Written by: Bob Dylan & Revised by John Mellencamp

Performed: John Mellencamp

G                      C            G

Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown

G                        C                 G  

Being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound

G                              C              D

Well the triangles tingle, the trumpets plays slow

       Em     Esus4        Em      Esus4      C       G      C  G  C  G

Say farewell Angelina, the sky is on fire, and I must go

G                                   C           G

There?s no need for anger,  there's no need for blame

G                                    C          G

There?s nothing to prove, Everything?s still the same

G                                    C           D

Just the table standing empty by the edge of the sea

       Em    Esus4         Em   Esus4           C         G      C G C G

Say farewell Angelina, the sky's trembling, and I must leave

G                                C            G

Well the jack and the queen have forsaken the courtyard

G                     C            G

Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard

G                                    C            D

In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild

     Em    Esus4       Em     Esus4         C            G       C G C G

Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I'll see you in a while

G                             C              G

See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun

G                        C             G  

Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun

G                          C               D

And the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast

       Em     Esus4        Em       Esus4              C            D    C D C D

But farewell Angelina, the sky is changing colour, and I must leave fast

G                             C             G

King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance

G                               C            G

Valentino-type tangos while the make-up mans hands

G                                C            D

Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone

       Em      Esus4        Em      Esus4           C         G        C G C G

Says Farewell Angelina, the sky is embarrassed, and I must be gone

G                          C             G

Well machine guns roaring, puppets heave rocks

G                                       C         G

While the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of clocks

G                          C                 D

Call me anything you like, I will never deny it

Em          Esus4      Em      Esus4        C                       G     C G C G  

Farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it's quiet
