C                   Dm
Sun came up it was another day

        F                       C
And the sun went down, you were blown away

Dm                    F
Why did you let go of your guitar

Dm                      F
Why did you ever let it go that far

        C
Drunken angel

C                      Dm
Coulda held on to that long smooth neck

F                     C
Let your hand remember every fret

Dm                    F
Fingers touching each shiny string

    Dm            F
But you let go of everything

        C
Drunken angel
[Chorus]
        Dm
Drunken angel

F             C
You're on the other side

        Dm
Drunken angel

F             C
You're on the other side
[Verse 2]
C               Dm
Followers would cling to you

F                   C
Hang around just to meet you

Dm               F
Some threw roses at your feet

Dm                     F
And watch you pass out on the street

        C
Drunken angel

C                    Dm
Feed you and pay off all your debts

F               C
Kiss your brow, taste your sweat

Dm               F
Write about your soul, your guts

Dm                F
Criticise you and wish you luck

        C
Drunken angel
[Chorus]
        Dm
Drunken angel

F             C
You're on the other side

F             C
You're on the other side
[Break] C Dm F C Dm F Dm F C [Verse 3]
C                    Dm
Some kind of saviour singing the blues

  F                C
A derelict in your duct tape shoes

     Dm                      F
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair

Dm               F
Looking like you didn't care

        C
Drunken angel

C                          Dm
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart

F                   C
Over the strings of your guitar

    Dm               F
The worn down places in the wood

     Dm                F
That once had made you feel so good

        C
Drunken angel
[Chorus]
        Dm
Drunken angel

F             C
You're on the other side

        Dm
Drunken angel

F             C
You're on the other side

And the sun went down, you were blown away

Why'd you let go of your guitar

Dm                    F
Why'd you ever let it go that far
