Angeline Chords by Slocan Ramblers

[Verse 1]
D                       G     D
Had a lot of faith when I was young
D                           G      A    
Things were different where I come from
              G       D         G          A         D 
Never thought much of home, Angeline, that haunts me now.

D                         G       D
I left home      just to  get    away
D                   G         A
Find some work  and earn some pay
    G              D          G       A       D 
But o-oh, God, the years, Angeline, I lost my way

[Chorus]
           (D)        G             D                   G               D       
           There’s my mother in her letters. There’s my father singin’  tunes
           (D)         G              D              G     A            D
           There’s my Sisters and my Brothers.  Angeline,   I think of you
     
[Verse 2]
D                G      D
It ain’t hard to find a friend
D                G        A
With cocaine and money to spend
G                    D          G     A       D 
Drinkin’ and playing cards, Angeline,  it fell apart.

D                 G       D
You can lose your head so fast,
D                          G             A
Crash like a freight train comin’ off the tracks
  G                   D          G      A            D 
I ki-illed a man that night, Angeline,    I took his life…

[Chorus]
           (D)         G             D                   G               D       
           There’s my mother in her letters. There’s my father singin’  tunes
           (D)         G              D              G     A            D
           There’s my Sisters and my Brothers.  Angeline,   I think of you

[Verse 3]
D                  G          D
Ain’t it funny how things can change 
D               G            A
And I wonder if you feel the same
            G      D           G     A                D 
Twenty long ye-ars remain, Angeline,   comin’ home to you…      

[Chorus]
               (D)         G               D                G               D
               Home to my mother, and her letters. Home to father, singin' tunes.
               (D)         G              D             G     A                D
               Home to my sisters and my brothers, Angeline,   comin' home to you.
                   G     A                D
               Angeline,   comin' home to you.
