Sun came up it was another day 
        F                       C 
And the sun went down, you were blown away 
Dm                    F 
Why did you let go of your guitar 
Dm                      F 
Why did you ever let it go that far 
        C 
Drunken angel 
C                      Dm 
Coulda held on to that long smooth neck 
F                     C 
Let your hand remember every fret 
Dm                    F 
Fingers touching each shiny string 
    Dm            F 
But you let go of everything 
        C

Followers would cling to you 
F                   C 
Hang around just to meet you 
Dm               F 
Some threw roses at your feet 
Dm                     F 
And watch you pass out on the street 
        C 
Drunken angel 
C                    Dm 
Feed you and pay off all your debts 
F               C 
Kiss your brow, taste your sweat 
Dm               F 
Write about your soul, your guts 
Dm                F 
Criticise you and wish you luck 
        C

C                    Dm 
Some kind of saviour singing the blues 
  F                C 
A derelict in your duct tape shoes 
     Dm                      F 
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair 
Dm               F 
Looking like you didn't care 
        C 
Drunken angel 
C                          Dm 
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart 
F                   C 
Over the strings of your guitar 
    Dm               F 
The worn down places in the wood 
     Dm                F 
That once had made you feel so good 
        C 
Drunken angel
