The Worm And The Angel Chords

[Intro]
G Am C G Em D G
 
[Verse 1]
    G                    Am
One night I dreamed that I was dead
  C                G
A butterfly flew into my head
 Em                 D
"How do ya do," she said
        G
"I'm an angel"
 
[Verse 2]
    G                 Am
She said no more, she said no less
  C                    G
I said "can you get me out of this mess
       Em              D
If you can well then I guess you must
      G
Be an angel"
 
[Verse 3]
    G                   Am
But then a worm crawled up my nose
    C                      G
And said to the butterfly "I suppose
    Em                    D
You think because of your beautiful clothes
          G
You're an angel"
 
[Verse 4]
         G                  Am
Well the butterfly smiled a knowing smile
    C                  G
And said "a miss is as good as a mile
Em                   D
Nothing on earth can cramp the style
      G
Of an angel"
 
[Interlude]
G Am C G Em D G
 
[Verse 5]
G                           Am
Then the worm said "I'm not satisfied
    C                G
And if you'll kindly step outside
     Em                    D
In a civilized way, we can soon decide
         G
Who's an angel"
 
[Verse 6]
     G             Am
Well I was turnin' in my grave
    C             G
The worm began to rant and rave
        Em            D
And the butterfly did not behave
        G
Like an angel
 
[Interlude]
G Am C G Em D G
 
[Verse 7]
G                Am
Then I awoke and found them gone
  C                           G
I looked at the trees and the morning sun
 
    Em              D
And wondered if the worm had won
       G
Or the angel
 
[Verse 8]
     G                 Am
It's not every day you see the light
C                G
But after such a restless night
  Em               D
I knew that only a worm could
         G
Fight an angel
 
[Outro]
G Am C G Em D G
