The Angel - Bruce Springsteen
G C G Em C
C G Em C Bm
The angel rides with hunch-backed children, poison oozing from his engine
C G Em D C
C D
Wieldin' love as a lethal weapon, on his way to hubcap heaven
C G Em C D
G Em C D
Baseball cards poked in his spokes his boots in oil he's patiently soaked
C G Em C D
G Em C D
The roadside attendant nervously jokes as the angel's tires strokes his precious pavement
C G Em C D
C G Em C
D
Well the interstate's choked With nomadic hordes in Volkswagen vans With full running
dragging great anchors
C G Em C D
C G Em C D
Followin' dead-end signs in..to the sores the angel rides by humpin' his hunk metal whore
Am Em G D
Madison Avenue's claim to fame in a trainer bra with eyes like rain
F Csus F
D
She rubs against the weather-beaten frame and asks the angel for his name
C G Em C D
Off in the distance the marble dome
C G Em C
D
Reflects across the flatlands with a naked feel off into parts unknown
C G Em C D
The woman strokes his polished chrome
C G Em D
And lies beside the angel's bones
G C Em D Bm Am
Csus
