    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.
