As the cafe was [E] closing on a warm summer [F#] night
[E] Caffey was [F#] cleaning the [B] spoons
[E] Radio played
[B] Hit parade
[C#] Now I'm along with [F#] the tune
[E] She asked me to change the [B] station
Said [E] the song just drove her [F#] insane
But it [B] weren't just the music [E] playing it was [F#] me she was [B] trying to blame
And [E] the sky is black and still [B]
now
on the [E] hill where the angels [F#] sing
It's funny, [E] I know broken [B] bottles
It's just like a [F#] diamond [B] ring
But it's [E] far, [F#] far from [B] here
Well, I leaned on my [E] left leg
In the parking lot [F#] dirt
[E] Caffey [F#] was closing [B] the lights
[E] Junebug flew [B] from the warmth he once knew
[C#] I wished for once I were [F#] right
While [E] we used to laugh [B]
together
And [E] we danced any old [F#] song
Well, you [B] know she still laughs [E] with me
But she [F#] waits just a second too [B] long
And [E] the sky is black [B] and still now
on the [E] hill where the angels [F#] sing
It's [E] funny, I know broken [B] bottles
It's just like a diamond ring
But it's [E] far, [F#] far [B] from here
Well, I started the [E] engine
And I gave it some [F#] gas
[E] Caffey was [F#] closing [B] her first
Well, [E] we hadn't gone far in [B] the beat-up old car
[C#] I was prepared for the [F#] worst
[E] Will you still see me [B] tomorrow?
[E] No, I got too much to [F#] do
Well, a [B] question ain't really [E] a question
If [F#] you know the answer [B] too
And [E] the sky is black [B] and still now
on the [E] hill where the angels [F#] sing
It's [E] funny, I know [B] broken bottles
It's just like [F#] a diamond ring
[B]
But it's [E] far, far from here
