Back Door Angels

(início)

Em                           Cmaj7    Am       C       (Em D Em)
In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels.
  C    D          G       C     Am
Their hair was a golden-brown ---
  Am                D           D B Em
they didn't see me wink my eye.
Em                                  D            C    (Em D Em)
`Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper,
C    D                  G     C    Am                D      D B Em
And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger.
  Em                           D                      C        (Em D Em)
They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours.
C     D            G        C  Am                          D
And sweep all the country clean  with pressed and scented wild-flowers.

They grow all their roses red,    and paint our skies blue ---
  C       D       G      C      Am
drop one penny in every second bowl ---
 Am            D           D B Em
make half the beggars lose,
  Em                                D               C       (Em D Em)
why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something?
C    D           G           C    Am
And call it the name they choose,
Am             D        D B Em
having chosen nothing.

Think I'll sit down and invent some fool --- some Grand Court Jester.

And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two.
In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel,
Her hair was a golden-brown --- she smiled and I think she winked her eye.
