Verse 1
C 
D 
Angeline, Angeline,
C 
Em 
darker nights I've never seen
C 
D 
I don't love these East
Em 
Texas pines
C 
D 
Where I can't find my sleep
C 
Em 
In the shadows so deep
Dark as the doubts in my
D 
Dsus4 
D 
mind
Em 
C 
Slow train on the trestle,
D 
C 
going east across the niches.
G 
Em 
G 
But the one I got off of
D 
C 
a long time ago,
Em 
G 
outside of a  little town
D 
C 
I never meant to settle down,
Em 
not knowing the seeds I
D 
would sow.
Em 
C 
Barefoot in the autumn weeds,
D 
C 
a cotton dress hanging to your knees
Em 
G 
the arms of a stranger
D 
C 
you offered a smile
Em 
G 
I went to work in your daddy's field
D 
C 
didn't seem like such a bad deal
Em 
D 
Dsus4 
D 
at least it would do for a while
Em 
C 
we were both young and unabashed
D 
C 
we took a life offer
Em 
G 
Some folks were distracted
D 
C 
or too tired to care
Em 
G 
Frost on the land and
D 
C 
faithful star hand
Em 
D 
Dresses fit tighter in the spring air
G 
C 
D 
Angeline, Angeline,
C 
Em 
darker nights I've never seen
C 
D 
Em 
I don't love these East Texas pines
C 
D 
Where I can't find my sleep,
C 
Em 
and the shadows so deep
Dark as the doubts in my
D 
Dsus4 
D 
mind
Em 
G 
So I watch the trains rattle past
D 
C 
in the seat of a tractor
Em 
G 
Daddy's old harness,
D 
C 
it still hangs in the bar
Em 
G 
Mama don't like it,
D 
C 
how our children are scattered
Em 
She says it's my blood,
D 
Em 
D 
I was not meant to farm
Em 
G 
I know that I don't talk a  lot,
D 
C 
we don't really have to
Em 
G 
We spent our whole lives
D 
C 
reading each other's minds
G 
Em 
G 
We used up the lightnin',
D 
C 
now we don't bother fightin'
Em 
D 
Asus4 
Such things will happen in time
Am 
C 
D 
Angeline, Angeline, darlin',
C 
Em 
that's how I've never sang
C 
D 
I don't love the easiest
Em 
Texas pies
C 
D 
Where I can't find my sleep
C 
Em 
in the shadows so deep
Am 
Em 
Dark as the doubts in
D 
Em 
my mind
Thank you, Sir James McMurtry song.
