A E7 F#m D...
A
She walked right in
E7
As time slowed down
F#m
But not enough
D
To keep me from ordering up
A
Another round
E7
In a bottomless cup
F#m
That I had found
D
In the hopes of never waking up the
A
Jukebox played
E7
An old country song
F#m
About steel guitars
D
And how he'll try his level best
A
To get along
E7
In the same old bar
F#m
Though friends gone wrong
D E [one strum, let ring]
well he once had love but I never got that far
[Chorus]
[no chord] A
she must have angels on her shoulders
E A
their light wherever she may be
E A
she says the angels do not know her
E D A
I guess I'm the only one who sees.
A
So I got my drink
E7
And my fix my rose
F#m
But I need much more
D A
Then this powderedblue and rented tuxedo
E7
I need a line
F#m
A-something she don't know
D E [ring]
Coz' she's probably heard them all a thousand times
A
So I caught her eye
E7
For the next song
F#m
And the waltz replaced
D A
the tango like she knows that I don't belong
E7
In these shoes
F#m
I feel all wrong
D E [ring]
But that's just my pride, what have I got to lose?
[Chorus]
[Harmonica solo over verse chords]
A
Well last call called
E7
But I didn't hear
F#m
I was too busy looking
D A
At her across the remnants of my beer
E7
she stood to leave
F#m
and then it all came clear
D E [ring]
that life without her was all I had to fear
[no chord] A
You must have angels on your shoulders
E A
Their light wherever you may be
E A
She asks me would I like to show her?
E D A
I think I might be just the guy you need.
