Intro: E B C#m A E
[E]We met in a bar / Out on Chesapeake [B]Bay
With her white patent b[C#m]oots / and her blouse, red L[A]eme
A tabletop [E]dancer / She would smile on c[B]ue
Ah, those lips of an A[C#m]ngel /[A] Angel in B[E]lue
(Same progression as 1st verse)
She'd been dancing for ages / In cities of bars
She was kicking the habit / of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit / all caged up in a zoo
Ah, a wildcat Angel / Angel in Blue
[C#m]And as she stared out into n[B]owhere
[C#m]I thought, yes I thought she might break down and [B]cry
Oh, when I [G#m]whispered I thought I could l[A]ove her
She just said "[E/G#]Baby, don't even bother to [B]try."
(Back to verse progression)
And I watched as she spoke / Her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors / that were really just loans
And she never had dreams / so they never came true
Ah, the palest of Angels / Angel in Blue
(Interlude: Guitar only)
And the bees they had stung her / the birds they had flown
There were guys she could number / but none had she known
And she never had dreams / so they never came true
Ah, my fade away Angel / Angel in Blue
