[Intro]

[Verse 1]
       C        F
As the cafe was closing
                 G
On a warm summer night
    F         G            C
And Cathy was cleaning the spoons
    F                C
The radio played the hit parade
    D                        G
And I hummed a long with the tune
    F                      C
She asked me to change the station
         F                     G
Said the song just drove her insane
       C                     
But it weren't just the music 
 F
playing
       G                        
It was me that she was trying to 
 C
blame.


[Chorus]
        F                C
And the sky is black and still now

       F                     G
On the hill where the angels sing
         F                      
Ain't it funny how an old broken 
 C
bottle
      C           G       C
Looks just like a diamond ring
        F    G        C
But its far, far from me


[Verse 2]
       C            F
Well I leaned on my left leg
                   G
In the parking lot dirt
    F         G           C
And Cathy was closing the lights
  F                      C
A june bug flew from the warmth he 
once knew
      D                        
And I wished for once I weren't 
 G
right
       F               C
Why we used to laugh together
         F                G
And we'd dance to any old song.
        C                     F
Well ya know she still laughs with 
me
        G                      
But she waits just a second too 
 C
long.


[Chorus]
        F                C
And the sky is black and still now
       F                     G
On the hill where the angels sing
         F                      
Ain't it funny how an old broken 
 C
bottle
      C           G       C
Looks just like a diamond ring
        F    G        C
But its far, far from me


[Verse 3]
       C           F
Well I started the engine
                   G
And I gave it some gas
    F         G           C
And Cathy was closing her purse
        F                     C
Well we hadn't gone far in my beat 
up old car
    D                      G
And I was prepared for the worst.
F                       C
Will you still see me tomorrow?
F                    G
No I got too much to do.
       C                      
Well a question ain't really a 
 F
question
       G               C
If you know the answer too.


[Chorus]
        F                C
And the sky is black and still now
       F                     G
On the hill where the angels sing
         F                      
Ain't it funny how an old broken 
 C
bottle
      C           G       C
Looks just like a diamond ring
        F    G        C
But its far, far from me
