Angel in Blue — The J. Geils Band

Chords and lyrics for Angel in Blue by The J. Geils Band (key of E).

Intro

[E] [B] [C#m] [A] [E]

Verse 1

[E]We met in a bar / Out on Chesapeake [B]Bay
With her white patent [C#m]boots / and her blouse, red [A]Leme
A tabletop [E]dancer / She would smile on [B]cue
Ah, those lips of an [C#m]Angel [B]/ [A]Angel in [E]Blue

Verse 2

She'd been dancing for [E]ages / Through cities of [B]bars
She was kicking the [C#m]habit / of scoring in [A]cars
She'd been drained of her [E]spirit / all caged up in a [B]zoo
Ah, a wildcat [C#m]Angel[B] /[A] Angel in [E]Blue

Bridge

[C#m]And as she stared out into [B]nowhere
[C#m]I thought, yes I thought she might break down and [B]cry
Oh, when I [G#m]whispered I thought I could [A]love her
She just said [E/G#]"Baby, don't even bother to [B]try."

Verse 3

And I watched as she [E]spoke / Her words chilled my [B]bones
All her friends did her[C#m] favors / that were really just[A] loans
And she never had [E]dreams / so they never came [B]true
Ah, the palest of [C#m][B]Angels [A]/ Angel in [E]Blue

Verse 4

And the [B]bees they had stung [E]her / the birds they had [B]flown
There were guys she could [C#m]number / but none had she [A]known
And she never had [E]dreams / so they never came [B]true
Ah, my fade away [C#m]Angel /[A] Angel in [E]Blue

Outro

[C#m] [E]
