Mountain Angel

G            C              G   
Pretty as an angel from the day 
             C
that she was born
G               C               
Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as 
G             D
golden as the corn
G                      C         
They knew that she was special 
       G                C
from the moment she first cried
G         C        D     G
She was a mountain angel certified
G                   C         G 
She was her momma's baby, she 
              C
was her daddy's pride
G                C               
Good at home, at church and 
      G              C
school, at everything she tried
G           C             G     
Everybody's darlin' led a 
               C
charmed and peaceful life
G                    C      D    
The perfect mountain angel 'til he 
  G
arrived

G     C      G
And ohh, she fell so deeply
G   C               G
Ooooh, she couldn't stop
G                   C             
She gave herself to him, milled it
 G          C
 completely
G                C    D          
He lifted her so high he let her 
G
drop

G           C                    
She gave up everything for him 
   G               C
that mattered in her life
G                       C        
All the others that had loved her
         G               D
 and she vowed to be his wife
G                      C         
She dreamed of bearing children 
     G           C
in an ivy-covered house
G                    C        D 
The mountain angel's sunshine 
        G
turned to clouds
G                   C        G  
The wicked handsome stranger 
             C
left the way he came

G                   C
Broke her heart and broke her mind
G                 D
She never was the same
Em                  C
They say he was the devil
G                          C
That had come to steal her soul
G               C       D      G
She never loved another it was told
G                  C
They say she had a baby
G                    C
Some say that it had died
G                 C
They it's just as well
          G                D
As it had been the devil's child
G                      C
They say good conquers evil
G                      C
But here, evil won the prize
G               C     D          
So the mountain angel took to the 
 G
wild

G     C               G
And ooh, she couldn't take it
G                        C       
Years passed and she had long 
            G
since lost her mind
G                  C             
She waited for him as her beauty 
G     C
faded
G                     C     D   
Her parents died from grief 
         G
before their time

G                   C             
She tried to gather pieces of her 
G                   C
life, they wouldn't fit
G                     C           
Beside the tiny grave deep in the 
G                    D
woods is where she'd sit
G              C                  
Talking to the child, herself, to 
G                 C
him, who knew for sure
G                     C       D 
Possessed they say by satan's 
     G
insane lure

G              C             G  
High a'top the mountain, for 
                  C
years they say she's seen
G            C                   
Looking down upon the town where 
G                 D
she had once been queen
G                      C         
She'd sneak around the 
            G               C
playground, watch the little 
children play
G              C          D      
They'd see the crazy lady then run 
  G
away
G                         C      
They say she roamed these hills 
          G             C
for years, wearing not a stitch
G                   C      
The lovely mountain angel now 
   G               D
thought to be a witch
G                      C
She made those wailing mournful 
sounds
     G              C
That you could hear for miles
G                   C             
Long after she laid down upon her 
D                G
baby's grave and died

G     C               G
And ooh, her ghost is callin'
G                     C          
She's waiting for the ones that 
   G
she adored
G                          C     
Through spring and summer, fall 
            G
when snow is fallin'
G                C           D  
Her spirit roams these hills 
     G
forever more
G                    C      D    
The mountain angel's voices ever
