Chords for Dolly Parton - Mountain Angel (Audio)

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born
Skin is fair as lilies, [D] hair [A] is golden as [E] the [A] corn
They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried
She was a mountain [E] angel [A] certified
She _ was her mama's baby
She was her daddy's pride
Good at [D] home, at church, in [A] school, at everything [E] she [A] tried
Everybody's darling, led a charmed and peaceful life
The perfect [B] mountain [E] angel [A] till he arrived _
And oh, _ [D] she [A] fell so deeply _
Oh, _ [D] she [A] couldn't stop _
She gave herself [D] to him, [A] yielded completely
[D] He [A] lifted her [D] so [A] high
Let her drop
She _ gave up [D] everything for him [A] that mattered in [D] her life
[A] All the others [D] that had loved her [A] and she vowed to be
[E] His wife
[A] She dreamed of [D] bearing children
[A] in an ivy [D]-covered house
[A] The mountain [D] angel [E] sunshine [A] turned to clouds
The wicked [D] handsome stranger
[A] Left the way he came
Broke her heart and broke her mind.
She never was [E] the same
[F#m] They say he was the devil
[A] That had come to steal [Bm] her soul
[D]
[A] She never [D] loved another
[E] [A] It was told
They _ say she [Dm] had a baby
[A] Some say that [D] it had died
[A] They say it's just [D] as well as it [A] had been the [E] devil's child
[A] They say good conquers evil
But here evil won the [D] prize
[A] So the mountain [E] angel [A] took to the wild
_ And [D] oh, [A] she couldn't take it
Years passed [D] and she had long [A] since lost her mind
She waited for [D] him as her [A] beauty faded
[D] Her [A] parents died from grief [E] before [A] their time _ _
She tried to gather pieces of her life
They wouldn't fit
Beside the tiny grave [A] deep in the wood is where [E] she'd sit
[A] Talking to the child [D] herself [A] to him who [D] knew for sure
[A] Possessed they [D] say by [E] Satan's [A] insane lure _ _
_ _ _ _ High [D] atop the mountain
[A] For years they [D] say she's seen
[A] Looking [D] down upon the town [A] where she had once [E] been queen
[A] She'd sneak around the [D] playground [A] watch the little [D] children play
[A] Then see the [D] crazy lady
[E] Then [A] run away
They _ say she roamed these [D] hills for [A] years
wearing not a stitch
the lovely [D] mountain angel
[A] Now thought to [E] be a witch
[A] She made those [D] waiting mournful [A] sounds
You could hear for miles
long after
She laid down upon her baby's grave and died
_ _ Ghost [D] _ [A] is calling
She's waiting for [D] the one that [A] she adored
Through spring and summer [D] fall
When [A] snow is falling
[D] Her [A] spirit [D] roams these [A] hills forever more
_ The mountain [D] angel's [E] voices [A] evermore _ _ _ _
