My Angeline by Iiird Tyme Out

My Angeline by iiird Tyme Out (http://www.iiirdtymeout.com/)

Loosely Transcribbed by DWdrummer67. Though this isn't perfect, I think you can use
this as a decent reference. Have fun with it and enjoy.

This song is played with either a mandolin or mandola as the primary instrument, 
but it can be played very effectively on the guitar as well.

Note: Though I don't have the notes in place... there's a short progression 
between verses. You should be able to figure it out without too much heartache.

Tuning: Standard

C                                     Am
Angelina Baker, lived just down the street
C                                                             Am
And my my heart would set to achin’ every time we chanced to meet
C                                                 Am
Although she’s now another’s, I still recall the time
C               Am               Dm              C
When my little Angie swore that she’d always be mine

C                                 Am
Temper of a fury, Irish born and bred
C                                               Am
Skin of cream and roses, and her hair was curly red
C                                                         Am
She could sing just like a songbird, in a sweet magnolia June
C                          Am                      Dm                 C
And she could play upon a young man’s heart, like sawin’ on a fiddle tune

C                                                   Am
Well the ocean is a mistress, once she gets in the veins
C                                                        Am
And to live a life without her Lord, would drive a man insane
C                                                 Am
My Angeline grew jealous, said it’s either her or me
C                            Am              Dm             C
And she cursed my name in a last farewell, as I set out to sea

C                                               Am
For ten long years I terried, in every port of call
C                                                         Am
Tryin’ to forget that gal of mine, wouldn’t do no good at all
C                                              Am
So I went to beg her pardon, and make another start
C                  Am         Dm                C
Just to find my Angeline had died of a broken heart

Note: (If you have a banjo player, strum each following note once while the banjo 
continues to play)

C                                                    Am
I’m not much good for nothin’, my youth long passed away
C                                                        Am
But if you hand me down my banjo son, I do believe I’ll play
C         Dm       C        Am
Angelina Baker… Angeline I know
     C                Am        Dm             C
I should’a married Angeline 40 some-odd years ago
C         Dm       C        Am
Angelina Baker… Angeline I know
     C                Am        Dm             C
I should’a married Angeline 40 some-odd years ago
C         Dm       C        Am
Angelina Baker… Angeline I know
     C                Am        Dm             C
I should’a married Angeline 40 some-odd years ago
