Drunken Angel written by Lucinda Williams
D Em
Sun came up it was another day
G D
And the sun went down you were blown away
Em G
Why'd you let go of your guitar
Em G
Why'd you ever let it go that far
D
Drunken Angel
D Em
Could've held on to that long smooth neck
G D
Let your hand remember every fret
Em G
Fingers touching each shiny string
Em G
But you let go of everything
D

You're on the other side

G D
You're on the other side
D Em
Followers would cling to you
G D
Hang around just to meet you
Em G
Some threw roses at your feet
Em G
And watch you pass out on the street
D
Drunken Angel
D Em
Feed you and pay off all your debts
G D
Kiss your brow taste your sweat
Em G
Write about your soul your guts
Em G
Criticize you and wish you luck

SOLO
D Em
Some kind of savior singing the blues
G D
A derelict in your duct tape shoes
Em G
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
Em G
Looking like you didn't care
D
Drunken Angel
D Em
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
G D
Over the strings of your guitar
Em G
The worn down places in the wood
Em G
The ones that made you feel so good
