Chords

Recorded by Eddy Arnold Written by Cy Coben, Irving Melsher, Eddy Arnold This hit #6 on Country Chart in 1949 Played in D to match youtube video (no capo needed.) I have to transpose to G for my personal vocal ability. Special note; take note of the especially 'high' vocal parts that Eddy adds to parts of the song. Instrumental lead-in basically first two lines of song.
D          D7    G                 D              A7      D   
There's no wings on my angel cause she's not from heaven above

   D  D7 G               D               A7         D   D7
No ha-lo on my angel but she's still the one that I love

  G                      D
I know that she flirts I know she's untrue

    A          E7     A    A7    
But I love her so  so what can I do

        D  D7    G               D           A7          D
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me
Instrumental, several verses (three or four?) played with great style.
D          D7    G               D        A7           D   
There's no wings on my angel the devil is there in her eyes

   D    D7    G                 D          A7           D   D7
No gold crown on my angel she's fooling no one with her lies

  G                      D
I know love is blind but still I can see

     A           E7        A     A7    
That my love for her means sweet misery

        D  D7    G               D              A7       D
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me
