E|-------------------------|A E7 F#m D...A She walked right inE7 As time slowed downF#m But not enoughD To keep me from ordering upA Another roundE7 In a bottomless cupF#m That I had foundD In the hopes of never waking up theA Jukebox playedE7 An old country songF#m About steel guitarsD And how he'll try his level bestA To get alongE7 In the same old barF#m Though friends gone wrong D E [one strum, let ring]Continues after the adwell he once had love but I never got that far [Chorus] [no chord] A she must have angels on her shouldersE A their light wherever she may beE A she says the angels do not know herE D A I guess I'm the only one who sees.A So I got my drinkE7 And my fix my roseF#m But I need much moreD Then this powderedblue and rentedA tuxedoE7 I need a lineF#m A-something she don't know D E [ring] Coz' she's probably heard them all a thousand timesA So I caught her eyeE7 For the next songF#m And the waltz replacedD the tango like she knows that IA don't belongE7 In these shoesF#m I feel all wrong D E [ring] But that's just my pride, what have I got to lose? [Chorus] [Harmonica solo over verse chords]A Well last call calledE7 But I didn't hearF#m I was too busy lookingD At her across the remnants of myA beerE7 she stood to leaveF#m and then it all came clear D E [ring] that life without her was all I had to fear [no chord] A You must have angels on your shouldersE A Their light wherever you may beE A She asks me would I like to show her?E D I think I might be just the guyA you need.
