Angeline chords by James Mcmurtry

Guitar chords with lyrics


Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

CHORUS:
F     C      G         F
Angeline, Angeline, darker nights I've never seen
Am        C     G
I don't love these East Texas pines
F       C      G     Fmaj7
Where I can't find my sleep in the shadows so deep
Am     C      G
And dark as the doubts in my mind


VERSE 1:
Am        C       G        F
Slow train on the trestle, going east 'cross the Neches
Am    C    G
Like the one I got off of a long time ago
F     C          G       Fmaj7
Outside of a little town where I never meant to settle down
Am     C       G
Not knowing the seeds I would sow

VERSE 2:
Am         C       G        F
Barefoot in the autumn weeds, cotton dress hanging to your knees
Am    C    G
To the eyes of a stranger you offered a smile
Am        C       G        Fmaj7
I went to work in your daddy's fields, didn't seem like such a bad deal
Am     C       G
At least it would do for a while


VERSE 3:
Am         C       G        F
We were both young and unabashed, we took what life offered
Am    C    G
When the folks were distracted or too tired to care
Am        C       G     Fmaj7
With a frost on the land the fates forced our hand
Am       C       G
Your dresses fit tighter with spring in the air


CHORUS:
F     C      G         F
Angeline, Angeline, darker nights I've never seen
Am        C     G
I don't love these East Texas pines
F       C      G     Fmaj7
Where I can't find my sleep in the shadows so deep
Am     C      G
And dark as the doubts in my mind


VERSE 4:
Am         C       G        F
Now I watch the trains rattle on from the seat of the tractor
Am    C    G
Your daddy's old harness still hangs in the barn
Am        C       G     Fmaj7
And your mama don't like it that our children all scattered
Am       C       G
She swears it's my blood: it was not meant to farm


VERSE 5:
Am         C       G        F
And you and I don't talk a lot, we really don't have to
Am        C      G
We spent many years reading each other's minds
Am        C       G     Fmaj7
We used up the lightning, now we don't bother fighting
Am       C       G
Such things will happen in time

CHORUS:
F     C      G         F
Angeline, Angeline, darker nights I've never seen
Am        C     G
I don't love these East Texas pines
F       C      G     Fmaj7
Where I can't find my sleep in the shadows so deep
Am     C      G
And dark as the doubts in my mind
