Waltzing With The Angels Chords by Nanci Griffith

_ She's just a hill country girl, _ _ [C] home [G] from the city
[C] Pockets [G] full of hency of those [D] neon lights
[D] And her _ [G] lover's smile _ [C] shines [G] on her youngest child
[C] She is [G] just a bobbing singer with her father's eyes
_ _ [C] And the city streets are hard to [G]
understand to him
_ [C] Would be easy for [G] the devil to [D] pass by [Bm] _ _ [G] if she can close her _ [C] eyes
But deep [G] about she found three for [C]
each chain of [G] gold and a lullaby
Cause he's blossoming [D] an _ [G] angel's tonight
_ _ _ And it's a harvest moon, [C] she's home to [G] carry blessings
[C] She's saved that love [G] from passing though it's ten years [D] gone by
But [G] he is buried in these fields, [C]
folded all [G] around her
[C]
Steals the [G] heart of hunger with [D] his memories inside _ _
And [C] the city streets are hard to _ [G] understand to him
Would [C] be easy for [G] the devil to [Dm] pass by _ [Bm] _
[D] if she can close her [G] _
eyes
[C] But deep about [G] she found three for each chain of gold [G] and a lullaby
Cause he's blossoming [D] an _ angel's tonight _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _
Now in the mornings she'll move on, [C] there's a safe below [G] on the wing
[C] They put feathers [G] on her strings and her voice [D] will fly
[G] But that necklace of gold [C] she wears and [G] his protects her [C] soul
From the bottom of [G] the late night [D] drinkers when the devil's [G] passing by
_ _ [C] And the city streets are hard to [G]
understand to him
_ [C] It would be easy [G] for the devil to [D] pass by if [G] she can close her _ [C] eyes
But deep [G] about she found three [C] for each chain of gold and [G] a lullaby
Cause he's blossoming [D] an [G] angel's tonight
_ _ They will be blossoming [D] an _ [G]
angel's tonight _ _ _ _
