Richard Thompson – The Angels Took My Racehorse Away (Guitar)

G                        C
Well, the angels came to see me today

              G          C          D
Said, "We've taken your racehorse away"

         G                     C
And I believe it was that bookmaker from Crail

     G            C               D
I believe that he put one in her pail

             G              C
And all the finest in the field

     G                                    C             D
Only measured to her shoulders, they only ever seen her heels

        G           C
And I believe every sporting man will cry

    G                C                D
I believe to see his income pass him by

Am
She won the Lanark Silver Bell

                     G
And she stole every heart away

      Am                                     C
She stood her stand at sixteen hands and I'd ride her easy

             G      D                   G
But they've taken, taken my racehorse away

G                           C
There's a racecourse in the sky

                 G                             C      D
And that's where all the racing horses must go by and by

         G          C
And I believe every steward, lord and groom

     G                 C           D
I believe that they're calling her home

Am
She would look at me in the eyes

                     G
And that was all she had to say

      Am                                     C
She stood her stand at sixteen hands and I'd ride her easy

             G      D                   G
But they've taken, taken my racehorse away

C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away

C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away

C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away

C                   D          G
   They've taken my racehorse away
