[Verse 1]
Em Am/C Am C D Em In and out of the front door ran twelve back-door angels C D G C Am D B Their hair was a golden-brown, they didn't see me wink my eye Em D D/F# C `Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper D Em C D G C Am D B And touch the heads of dying dogs and make them linger Em D D/F# C D Em They carry their candles high and they light the dark hours C D G C Am D B And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers
[Instrumental 1]

[Verse 2]
Em Am/C Am C D They grow all their roses red and paint our skies blue Em C D G C Am D B Drop one penny in every second bowl, make half the beggars lose Em D D/F# C D Em Why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something? C D G C Am D B And call it the name they choose, having chosen nothing

[Verse 3]
Em D D/F# C D Em Think I'll sit down and invent some fool, some Grand Court Jester C D G C Am D B And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two Em In and out of the back-door ran one front-door angel

Her hair was a golden-brown, she smiled and I think she winked her eye
