Farewell Angelina

Am  F  Am  F

[Verse 1]
    C                  F          
Farewell Angelina, the bells of 
  C
the crown
          F         C             
Are being stolen by bandits, I 
  F          C
must follow the sound
The triangle tingles and the 
F             G
trumpets play slow
    Am       Em        Am        
Farewell Angelina, the sky is on 
G
fire
F          C
And I must go


[Verse 2]
There's no need for anger, there's 
F           C
no need for blame
        F          C    
There's nothing to prove, 
       F                 C
everything's still the same
Just a table standing empty by the 
F           G
edge of the sea
    Am       Em        Am  
Farewell Angelina, the sky is 
   G
trembling
F          C
And I must leave


[Verse 3]
                             F     
The jacks and queens have forsaken 
         C
the courtyard

F         C           F         
Fifty-two gypsies now file past 
    C
the guards
In the space where the deuce and the
 F            G
 ace once ran wild
    Am       Em        Am  
Farewell Angelina, the sky is 
   G
folding
     F            C
I'll see you in a while


[Verse 4]
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting 
F              C
perched in the sun
F            C           F       
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off 
  C
shotgun
And the neighbours, they clap and 
     F               G
they cheer with each blast
    Am       Em        Am 
Farewell Angelina, the sky's 
            G
changing colour
    F            C
And I must leave fast


[Verse 5]
King Kong, little elves, on the 
F             C
rooftops they dance
     F         C                 
Valentino-type tangos, while the 
F             C
make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead not to 
  F          G
embarrass anyone
    Am       Em        Am  
Farewell Angelina, the sky is 
     G
embarrassed
    F        C
And I must be gone


[Verse 6]
The machine guns are roaring, and 
F             C
puppets heave rocks
    F           C                 
The fiends nail time-bombs to the 
F            C
hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like, I will 
F       G
never deny it
    Am       Em        Am     G
Farewell Angelina, the sky is empty
       F             C
I must go where it's quiet
Call me any name you like, I will 
F       G
never deny it
    Am       Em        Am     G
Farewell Angelina, the sky is empty
       F             C
I must go where it's quiet
