Chords

------------------------- A E7 F#m D...
                 A
She walked right in

             E7
As time slowed down

           F#m
But not enough

          D    
To keep me from ordering up

            A
Another round

                E7
In a bottomless cup

           F#m
That I had found

         D
In the hopes of never waking up the

 A
Jukebox played

 E7      
An old country song 

            F#m
About steel guitars

              D
And how he'll try his level best

       A
To get along

                E7
In the same old bar

               F#m
Though friends gone wrong

        D                                  E [one strum, let ring]
well he once had love but I never got that far
[Chorus]
[no chord]                    A 
she must have angels on her shoulders

 E                            A
their light wherever she may be

 E                            A
she says the angels do not know her

E               D             A
I guess I'm the only one who sees.

             A
So I got my drink

E7
And my fix my rose

                F#m
But I need much more

           D                       A
Then this powderedblue and rented tuxedo

         E7
I need a line

                 F#m
A-something she don't know 

             D                                 E [ring]
Coz' she's probably heard them all a thousand times

                 A
So I caught her eye

              E7
For the next song

               F#m
And the waltz replaced

           D                          A
the tango like she knows that I don't belong

          E7
In these shoes

             F#m
I feel all wrong

             D                               E [ring]
But that's just my pride, what have I got to lose?
[Chorus] [Harmonica solo over verse chords]
                A
Well last call called

               E7
But I didn't hear 

                  F#m
I was too busy looking

    D                            A
At her across the remnants of my beer

              E7
she stood to leave

                     F#m
and then it all came clear

      D                                E [ring]
that life without her was all I had to fear

[no chord]                      A
You must have angels on your shoulders

 E                            A
Their light wherever you may be

 E                            A
She asks me would I like to show her?

 E                  D                A
I think I might be just the guy you need.
