Drunken Angel written by Lucinda Williams

D                  Em
Sun came up it was another day
        G                      D
And the sun went down you were blown away
Em                  G
Why'd you let go of your guitar
Em                    G
Why'd you ever let it go that far
        D
Drunken Angel
D                         Em   
Could've held on to that long smooth neck
G                       D
Let your hand remember every fret
Em                    G
Fingers touching each shiny string
    Em               G
But you let go of everything
        D

You're on the other side

Drunken Angel
G              D
You're on the other side
D               Em
Followers would cling to you
G                   D
Hang around just to meet you
Em               G
Some threw roses at your feet
Em                     G 
And watch you pass out on the street
        D
Drunken Angel
D                    Em
Feed you and pay off all your debts
G              D
Kiss your brow taste your sweat
Em                G
Write about your soul your guts
Em                 G
Criticize you and wish you luck
        D

SOLO
D                   Em
Some kind of savior singing the blues
G                   D
A derelict in your duct tape shoes
Em                      G
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
Em               G
Looking like you didn't care
       D
Drunken Angel
D                          Em
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
G                    D
Over the strings of your guitar
Em                   G
The worn down places in the wood
Em                 G
The ones that made you feel so good
       D

And the sun went down you were blown away
Em                  G
Why'd you let go of your guitar
Em                    G
Why'd you ever let it go that far
        D
