Strawbs – Too Many Angels (Guitar)

                    G
It started with the ring I wear

  C                                F
A journey few would care to share

                   G
Some say it is the braggart's boast

  C
A life along the Barbary Coast

F                 G                C
Pirate ships with jet black sails

                              F
Sirens clinging to the rails

               Em
Broken victims walk the plank

  Am                 E7            F
Before we struck the rock and sank

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

               G
Washed up on a welcome beach

      C                             F
Where excise men could never reach

                 G
Riding horseback through the lanes

C                                        F
Soothed the traveller's aches and pains

                G
Raising cattle, tending sheep

     C
It's easier than losing sleep

    F                    G
The young girl's fancies loosely spun

    C
The monkey and the damage done

    F                G
The prisoner finally walking free

   C
To spring in Little Italy

F                   Em
When in doubt, just make a list

Am                E7          F
All that was, was ever missed

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

                      G
The storm has finally come to pass

  C
I pour my tears into the glass

    F               G
You can't erase the lines of age

   C
Or words upon the printed page

    F              G
The dragonfly with folded wings

    C                                    F
Has found the pleasure true love brings

                     G
And while we live in Tiffany time

    C                                F
The ring has stood the test of time

              G
Nowadays it's far more clear

     C                             F
With all the loves I held so dear

                G
Swirling gently through the mist

     C
With softer tongue and velvet fist

   F                   G
As though they seem to understand

   C
It started out with nothing planned

    F                Em
The days are closing in so fast

     Am                E7            F
It's time to find some peace at last

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G           C        F
Too many angels have fallen

         G           Am           F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet

         G       Am  E
Too many angels
