Farewell Angelina Chords

Capo: 2nd fret
Key: D

    C
Farewell Angelina
    F            C
The bells of the crown
          F         C
Are being stolen by bandits
       F          C
I must follow the sound
 
The triangle tingles
        F            G
And the trumpet play slow
    Am       Em
Farewell Angelina
    Am        Em
The sky is on fire
F          C
And I must go.
 
        C
There's no need for anger
        F           C
There's no need for blame
        F          C
There's nothing to prove
     F                 C
Ev'rything's still the same
 
Just a table standing empty
       F           G
By the edge of the sea
    Am       Em
Farewell Angelina
    Am     Em
The sky is trembling
F          C
And I must leave.
 
    C
The jacks and queens
        F              C
Have forsaken the courtyard
F         C
Fifty-two gypsies
    F             C
Now file past the guards
 
In the space where the deuce
        F            G
And the ace once ran wild
    Am       Em
Farewell Angelina
    Am     Em
The sky is folding
     F            C
I'll see you in a while.
 
        C
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
F              C
Perched in the sun
 
Shooting tin cans
       F         C
With a sawed-off shotgun
 
And the neighbors they clap
         F               G
And they cheer with each blast
    Am       Em
Farewell Angelina
    Am             Em
The sky's changing color
    F            C
And I must leave fast.
 
C
King Kong, little elves
       F             C
On the rooftops they dance
 
Valentino-type tangos
          F             C
While the make-up man's hands
 
Shut the eyes of the dead
         F         G
Not to embarrass anyone
    Am       Em
Farewell Angelina
    Am       Em
The sky is embarrassed
    F        C
And I must be gone.
 
    C
The machine guns are roaring
    F             C
The puppets heave rocks
 
The fiends nail time bombs
       F            C
To the hands of the clocks
 
Call me any name you like
       F       G
I will never deny it
    Am       Em
Farewell Angelina
    Am      Em
The sky is erupting
       F             C
I must go where it's quiet.
