🎸 Angel chords by Bruce Springsteen

The Angel by Bruce Springsteen


G  C   G    Em  C
    C    G  Em C   Bm
The angel rides with hunch-backed children, poison oozing from his engine
C     G Em      D    C
 C     D
Wieldin' love as a lethal weapon, on his way to hubcap heaven
C    G   Em  C   D
      G  Em  C     D
Baseball cards poked in his spokes his boots in oil he's patiently soaked
  C    G Em   C     D
       G   Em   C      D
The roadside attendant nervously jokes as the angel's tires strokes his precious pavement
     C  G       Em  C    D
    C     G       Em       C
     D
Well the interstate's choked With nomadic hordes in Volkswagen vans With full running
dragging great anchors
C         G   Em C   D
 C   G    Em     C  D
Followin' dead-end signs in..to the sores the angel rides by humpin' his hunk metal whore

Am       Em      G            D
Madison Avenue's claim to fame in a trainer bra with eyes like rain
F              Csus       F
   D
She rubs against the weather-beaten frame and asks the angel for his name

C     G    Em C   D
Off in the distance the marble dome
C          G        Em     C
  D
Reflects across the flatlands with a naked feel off into parts unknown
  C   G    Em C    D
The woman strokes his polished chrome
  C   G  Em     D
And lies beside the angel's bones

  G  C  Em  D  Bm  Am
  Csus
