Key:
C
F C Well it's always been my nature to take chances
G C My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
F C Where the current is strong and the monkey dances
G To the tune of a concertina
F C Blood drying in my yellow hair as I go from shore to shore
G C I know what it is that has drawn me to your door
F C But what ever could it be makes you think you've seen me before
G Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C His eyes were two slits make any snake proud
G C With a face that any painter would paint as he walked through the crowd
F C Worshipping a god with the body of a woman well endowed
G And the head of a hyena
F C Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek
G C If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
F C No, I have heard nothing about the man that you seek

G Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C In the valley of the giants where the stars and stripes explode
G C The peaches they were sweet and the milk and honey flowed
F C I was only following instructions when the judge sent me down the road
G With your subpoena
F C When you cease to exist then who will you blame?
G C I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game
F C Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
G Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C There's a black Mercedes rolling through the combat zone
G C Your servants are half dead, you're down to the bone
F C Tell me tall man, where would you like to be overthrown?
G In Jerusalem or Argentina?
F C She was stolen from her mother when she was three days old
G C Now her vengeance has been satisfied and her possessions have been sold
F C He's surrounded by God's angels and she's wearing a blindfold
G But so are you, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C I see pieces of men marching, tryin' to take heaven by force
G C I can see the unknown rider, I can see the pale white horse
F C In God's truth, name, tell me what you want and you'll have it of course
G Just step into the arena
F C Beat a path of retreat up them spiral staircases
G C Pass the tree of smoke, pass the angel with four faces
F C Begging god for mercy and weeping in unholy places
G Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
F C G Oooh-oh, Angelina
