G C G
Farewell Angelina the bells of the crown
C G
are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound
C G7 C D
the triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow
Em Bm Em Bm
Farewell Angelina the sky is on fire
C D7 G Am G D7
and I must go
G C G
There’s no need for anger there’s no need for blame
C G
there’s nothing to prove ev’rything’s still the same
C G7 C D
just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea means
Em Bm Em Bm
farewell Angelina the sky is trembling
C D7 G Am G D7
and I must leave
G C G
The jacks and the queens have forsaked the courtyard
C G
fifty-two gypsies now file past the guards
C G7 C D
In the space where the deuce and the ace ran wild
Em Bm Em Bm
farewell Angelina the sky is folding
C D7 G Am G D7
I’ll see you in a while
G C G
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting perched in the sun
C G
shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
C G7 C D
and the neighbors they clap and they cheer with each blast
Em Bm Em Bm
farewell Angelina the sky’s changing color
C D7 G Am G D7
and I must leave fast
G C G
King Kong little elves on the rooftops they dance
C G
Valentino-type tangos while the make-up man’s hands
C G7 D
Shut the eyes of dead not to embarrass anyone
Em Bm Em Bm
farewell Angelina the sky is emarressed
C D7 G Am G D7
and I must be gone
G C G
The machine guns are roaring the puppets heave rocks
C G
the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of the clock
C G7 C D
Call me any name you like I will never deny it
Em Bm Em Bm
farewell Angelina the sky is erupting
C D7 G Am G D7
and I must go where is quiet
