Intro
[B] [C#m] [D#m] [C#m]
Verse 1
He'd been [B]dealt a bad [C#m]hand nearly [D#m]fifty years old
Cleanin' [E]glasses, at night in a bar
Only one good hand for to [D#m]play him his tunes
On a [C#m]piano all tired out [F#]and marred
Chorus
And the [E]stone angel hung on [B]the wall up above
Looked out [C#m]blind, [E]all the nights [F#]long.
But when the [B]one-armed man [C#m]played to an [D#m]empty [C#m]saloon,
She [B]looked down and [A]smiled as he played her his[B] songs.
Instrumental
[C#m] [D#m] [C#m] [B] [C#m] [D#m] [C#m]
Verse 2
[B]Duke, the white [C#m]Shepherd who [D#m]guarded the room
Never [E]leavin' the back of the bar
Would climb up on the stage and curl [D#m]up around his feet
As to [C#m]guard him and his music from [F#]harm.
Chorus
And the [E]stone angel hung on [B]the wall up above
Looked out [C#m]blind, [E]all the nights [F#]long.
But when the [B]one-armed man [C#m]played to an [D#m]empty [C#m]saloon,
She [B]looked down and [A]smiled as he played her his[B] songs.
Instrumental
[C#m] [D#m] [C#m] [B] [C#m] [D#m] [C#m]
Verse 3
I [B]heard him one [C#m]night,when he [D#]thought to be alone.
And I [E]lied and I did him a wrong.
I can't give back the pleasure his [D#m]music gave to me,
I can [C#m]only give him this [F#]song.
Verse 4
He played [B]better with one [C#m]hand than [D#m]most men with two.
Yet made [E]posters for all of the stars.
And I wish to my heart he could [D#m]play for you,
So you'd [C#m]know just how happy you [F#]are.
Final Chorus
And the [E]stone angel hung on [B]the wall up above
And [C#m]me and the [E]big white [F#]dog.
All [B]stopped once to [C#m]listen,to the [D#]one-armed man [C#]play
To their [B]smiles in an [A]empty [E]saloon.
Outro
