(G major) (Dsus4) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) (Dolly Parton)
Pretty as an angel (Gsus4) from (G major) the day
that she was born (C major) (Gsus4)
Skin (G major) as fair as Lily's (C major) (G major) hair,
(C major) as golden (G major) as the corn (D major) (Dsus4)
(G major) They knew that she was special (Gsus4) from
(G major) the moment she first cried (C major) (G major) (Gsus4)
(G major) She was a mountain angel (D major) certified
(G major) She was her momma's baby,
(Gsus4) she (G major) was her daddy's pride (C major) (G major)
Good at home, at church (C major) and school,
(G major) at everything she (D major) tried (Dsus4) (G major)
Everybody's darlin' (C major) led
a charmed (G major) and peaceful (C major) life
(G major) The perfect mountain
(C major) angel (D major) 'til he (G major) arrived
And (C major) ohh, she fell so (G major) deeply
Ooh, (C major) she couldn't (G major) stop
She gave herself to (C major) him,
milled it com (G major) pletely (C major)
(G major) He lifted her so high (C major) (D major) he let her (G major) drop (C major)

Verse 2
(G major) She gave up everything (C major) for him
that (G major) mattered in her life (C major)
All the (G major) others that had (C major) loved her
and she (G major) vowed to be his (D major) wife
(G major) She dreamed of bearing chil (C major) dren
in an ivy- (G major) covered house
house (C major)
(G major) The mountain angel's sun (C major) shine
(D major) turned (G major) to clouds (Gsus4) (G major)
The wicked handsome stranger (C major) left (G major)
the way he came (Gsus4) (G major)
Broke her heart and (C major) broke her mind
(G major) She never was the same (D major)
(E minor) They say he was the devil
(C major) That had come (G major) to steal (C major) her soul
(Dsus4) She (D major) never loved another (C major)
(Dsus4) (D major) it was told (G major)
They say she had a baby (C major)
(Gsus4) Some (G major) say that it had died (Gsus4)
They (G major) it's just as well (C major)
As it had been (G major) the devil's child (D major)
(G major) They say good conquers evil (C major) (Gsus4)
But here, (G major) evil won the prize (Gsus4)
So (G major) the mountain an (C major) gel (D major) took to the (G major) wild
Verse 3
And ooh, (G major) (C major) she couldn't (G major) take it
Years passed and she had
(C major) long since lost (G major) her mind
She waited for him (C major) as her
beauty (G major) faded (C major)
Her parents (G major) died from (C major) grief
(Dsus4) be (D major) fore their (G major) time
Verse 4
(G major) She tried to gather pieces (Gsus4) (G major) of her life,
they wouldn't fit (Gsus4)
(G major) Beside the tiny grave (C major) deep in the wood
(G major) s is where she'd (D major) sit (G major)
Talking to the child, her (C major) self,
to (G major) him, who knew for sure (C major)
Pos (G major) sessed they say by (C major) satan's
(D major) insane (G major) lure (D major) (G major) (Dsus4)
(G major) High a'top the mountain, (C major)
for (G major) years they say she's (C major) seen (G major)
Looking down upon (C major) the town where
(G major) she had once been (D major) queen
(G major) She'd sneak around the playground, (C major)
watch the (G major) little children play (C major)
They'd (G major) see the crazy lady (C major)
(Dsus4) then (D major) run away (G major)
They say she roamed these hill (C major) s for years,
wear (G major) ing not a stitch (C major) (G major)
The lovely mountain (C major) angel
now thought (G major) to be a (D major) witch
(G major) She made those wailing
(C major) mournful sounds
That (G major) you could hear (C major) for miles
Long after (G major) she laid down upon her
baby's grave and died (D major) (G major)
Verse 5
And ooh, (G major) (C major) her ghost is (G major) callin'
She's waiting for the (C major) ones
that she (G major) adored
Through spring and summer,
fall (C major) when snow (G major) is fallin' (C major)
Her spir (G major) it roams these (C major) hills (D major)
forever (G major) more
The mountain angel's
voices (C major) (D major) ever more
(G major)
Verse 6
(G major) Oohh, (C major) oooo (G major) (C major) (G major)
Oo (C major) hh, (G major) (C major) (G major) oooo (C major) (G major)
Ooh (C major) h, oooo
