Back-Door Angels
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Em
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Em Am/C Am C D Em
In and out of the front door ran twelve back-door angels
C D G C Am D B
Their hair was a golden-brown, they didn't see me wink my eye
Em D D/F# C
`Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper
D Em C D G C Am D B
And touch the heads of dying dogs and make them linger
Em D D/F# C D Em
They carry their candles high and they light the dark hours
C D G C Am D B
And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers
[Instrumental 1]

[Verse 2]
Em Am/C Am C D
They grow all their roses red and paint our skies blue
Em C D G C Am D B
Drop one penny in every second bowl, make half the beggars lose
Em D D/F# C D Em
Why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something?
C D G C Am D B
And call it the name they choose, having chosen nothing

[Verse 3]
Em D D/F# C D Em
Think I'll sit down and invent some fool, some Grand Court Jester
C D G C Am D B
And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two
Em
In and out of the back-door ran one front-door angel
N.C.
Her hair was a golden-brown, she smiled and I think she winked her eye
