intro.....A E B E A E B E

He was a bouncer at a Jungle Pony's bodyshop

A

She was a night cashier down at the stop & shop

E

He was kinda good lookin' she was kinda fun

B E

Down 'neath that big 'ol tree out where the river runs

A

Cho.. Little Angelyne, little Angelyne

E

As the sun goes down & the moonlght shines

B

Back of the greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined

E

Just big Bill & little Angelyne

She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around

A

So he took her to a roadhouse on the edge of town

E

There in the beer hall light Lord she looked real fine

B

It was there he popped the question that was on his mind

E

It was a simple ceremony just a friend or two

A

The preacher asked if they do & they said they do

E

She bought the tickets on her daddy's American Express

B E

Bought the greyhound bus & a wedding dress

Cho....

inst verse....

inst cho....

E (NC)

In a 6 dollar motel room with his honey bun

For 7 glorious days in the Nevada sun

He played the table she pumped the slots full of dimes

They came back broke but they had a good time

E

Now many fell apart in the years come & gone

A

But Big Bill and little angel they last on & on

E

They held together when the times looked real slim

B A

Had a boy looked like her & a girl looked like him

Cho....

Cho...

Inst Cho...

Cho...

Cho...

Inst Cho... to end.....
