[D] [Em] [G] [D]
[Em] [G] [D]
The sun came up, it [Em] was another day, and [G] the sun went down, you [D] were blown away.
[Em] Why'd you let go [G] of your guitar?
Why'd you ever let it go, that poor [D] drunken angel?
Could've held on to [Em] that long, [G] smooth neck, let your hand [D] remember every [E] breath,
fingers [G] touching each shiny string, [Em] but you [G] let go of everything, [D] drunken angel.
[Em] Drunken [G] angel, you're [D] on the other side.
[Em] Drunken angel, [G] you're [D] on the other side.
Followers [Em] would cling to you, [G] hang around [D] just to meet you,
[Em] sun through [G] roses at your feet, [Em] and watch you pass [G] out on the street, [D] drunken angel.
Beat you and pay [Em] off all your debts, [G] kiss your brow, [D] taste your [Em] sweat,
write [G] about your soul, your guts, criticize you and wish you luck, [D] drunken angel.
[Em]
Drunken angel, [G] you're [D] on the other side.
[E] Drunken [Em] angel, [G] you're [D] on the other side.
[Em] [G] [D] [Em]
[G] [Em] [G] [D]
Some kind of [Em] slave who was singing the [G] blues, a derelict [D] in your duct tape [Em] shoes,
your [G] orphaned clothes and your long, dark [Em] hair, looking [G] like you didn't care, [D] drunken angel.
Blood spilled out [G] from the hole in your heart, over the [D] strings of your [Em] guitar,
your worn down [G] places in the wood, [Em] the ones that made [G] you feel so good, [D] drunken angel.
[Em] Drunken angel, [G] you're [D] on the other side.
[Em] Drunken angel, [G] you're [D] on the other side.
The sun came up, [Em] it was another day, [G] and the sun went down, [D] you were blown [Em] away,
why'd you let [G] go of your guitar, why'd you ever let it go that far, [D] drunken angel?
Drunken angel.
