J Geils Band - Angel In Blue Chords & Tabs

Intro:  E  B  C#m  A  E

E                                    B
We met in a bar /  Out on Chesapeake Bay

                       C#m                          A
With her white patent boots /  and her blouse, red Leme

           E                            B
A tabletop dancer / She would smile on cue

                      C#m   A          E
Ah, those lips of an Angel / Angel in Blue


(Same progression as 1st verse)

She'd been dancing for ages / In cities of bars
She was kicking the habit / of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit / all caged up in a zoo
Ah, a wildcat Angel /  Angel in Blue


C#m                         B            
And as she stared out into nowhere
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/j_geils_band/angel_in_blue_crd.html ]
C#m                                               B
I thought, yes I thought she might break down and cry

           G#m                          A
Oh, when I whispered I thought I could love her

               E/G#                       B
She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try."


(Back to verse progression)

And I watched as she spoke /  Her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors / that were really just loans
And she never had dreams / so they never came true
Ah, the palest of Angels / Angel in Blue

(Interlude: Guitar only)

And the bees they had stung her / the birds they had flown
There were guys she could number / but none had she known
And she never had dreams / so they never came true
Ah, my fade away Angel / Angel in Blue

(Outtro)

C#m                E

(repeat till tired)
