As the cafe [D] was closing on _ _ _ _ a [A] warm [E] summer night, _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Kathy was [E] cleaning _ [A] the spoons, _
_ _ [D] the radio played [E] _ [A] the hit parade,
_ [B] _ and I hummed along [E] with the tune. _ _
_ _ [D] She asked [E] me to [A] change the station, _ _
_ [D] said the song just drove her [E] insane. _ _
_ [A] But it weren't just the music [D] playing, _ _ _
it [E] was me she was trying [A] to blame. _ _ _
And the [D] sky is black [A] and still now, _
[E] up [D] on the hill when the angels [E] _ _ _
sang.
[D] Ain't it funny how an old [A] broken pot _ _ _ looks just [E] like a _ [A] diamond ring, _ _
[E] but [D] it's far, _ [E]
far [A] from me. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I leaned [D] on my left leg _ in the parking [E] lot dirt. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Kathy [E] was closing _ [A] the light, _
_ _ [D] a June bug flew [A] from the warmth of once new.
_ [B] And I wished for once I [E] weren't right, _ _
_ _ [D] while we used [E] to laugh _ [A] together, _
_ and [D] we'd dance to any old [E] song. _
_ Well, [A] you know, _ she still laughs [D] with me,
but _ [E] she waits just a second [A] too long. _ _
_ [D] And the sky is black [A] and still now, _
_ [D] up on the hill when the [E] angels sang. _
_ _ [D] Ain't it funny how an old [A] broken bottle _ _ _ looks just [E] like a [A] diamond ring, _ _
but [D] it's far, _ [E]
far [A] from me. _ _

_ started [D] the engine, _ _ _ _ gave [E] it some gas, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] and Kathy [E] was closing [A] her purse. _ _ _
_ [D] We hadn't gone far [A] in my beat-up old car,
_ [B] and I was prepared to throw [E] the water in. _ _
_ [D] Will you [E] still see me [A] tomorrow? _ _
_ [D] Though I've got too [E] much to do, _
well, [A] the question ain't really a [D] question _ _ _ _ [E] if you know the answer [A] to. _ _ _
And [D] the sky is black [A] and still now, _
up [D] on the hill when the angels [E] _ sang. _
_ _ [D] Ain't it funny how an old broken [A] bottle _ _ _ looks just [E] like a [A] diamond ring, _ _
[E] but [D] it's far, _ [E] far [A] from me. _ _
