Verse 1
(A minor) An (G major) geline, Angeline,
darker nights I've (A minor) never seen (G major)
I (A minor) don't love (F major) (G major) these East Texas pines
Where I (C major) can't find my sleep in
the (G major) shadows so (A minor) deep
And dark (C major) as (G major) the doubts (C major) in my (G major) mind
(A minor)
Verse 2
Freight train on the (C major) trestle rolling
(G major) east towards the (C major) Natchez (F major)
(C major) Like the (A minor) one I got off (C major) of so (G major) long (E minor) ago
Out (C major) side (F major) of (C major) a small town where
I didn't (G major) mean to settle (F major) down (C major)
(G major) Not (C major) knowing (A minor) the seeds I would sow (G major)
(A minor) Barefoot in the autumn weeds, (C major)
Verse 3
(G major)
cotton dress hanging to your (F major) knees
To (A minor) the eyes of a (C major) stranger
(G major) you offered (E minor) a smile
Took (C major) a job in your daddy's fields,
didn't (G major) seem like such a bad (F major) deal
At least (C major) it would do (A minor) for (G major) a while
Verse 4
(G major)
We were (A minor) both young and (C major) unabashed,
(G major) we took what life (F major) offered
While your (A minor) folks were distrac
(C major) ted or (G major) too tired to (E minor) care
As the (C major) cold gripped the land the
(G major) fates forced our hand (F major)
Your dresses (C major) fit (A minor) tighter (G major) with the spring in (F major) the
(C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) air
(G major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 5
Now I (A minor) watch the trains (C major) rattle on from the
(G major) seat of the tractor (F major)
Your daddy's (C major) old harness
(A minor) still (G major) hangs in the (E minor) barn
And your (C major) mama (F minor) don't (C major) like it that our
(G major) children all scattered (F major)
She swears (G major) it's my (A minor) blood,
it was not (G major) meant to (E minor) farm
Verse 6
And you (A minor) and I don't (C major) talk a lot,
we (G major) don't really have to (F major)
We've (A minor) spent many a (C major) year read
(G major) ing each other's mind (E minor) s
We (C major) gave up the lightning,
now we (G major) don't bother fight (F major) ing
These (C major) things will (A minor) happen (G major) in time
Verse 7
(G major)
Angeline, (F major) (C major) An geline,
darker (G major) nights I've never seen (F major)
I (A minor) don't love these (C major) East Texas (G major) pines
Where I (C major) can't find my sleep
(G major) in the shadows so (A minor) deep
And (G major) dark as the doubt (C major) (G major) s in my mind
angeline
