G                      C            G
Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown
G                        C                 G
Being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound
G                              C              D
Well the triangles tingle, the trumpets plays slow
       Em     Esus4        Em      Esus4      C       G      C  G  C  G
Say farewell Angelina, the sky is on fire, and I must go

G                                   C           G
There?s no need for anger,  there’s no need for blame
G                                    C          G
There?s nothing to prove, Everything?s still the same
G                                    C           D
Just the table standing empty by the edge of the sea
       Em    Esus4         Em   Esus4           C         G      C G C G
Say farewell Angelina, the sky’s trembling, and I must leave


G                                C            G
Well the jack and the queen have forsaken the courtyard
G                     C            G
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard
G                                    C            D
In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild
     Em    Esus4       Em     Esus4         C            G       C G C G
Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I’ll see you in a while


G                             C              G
See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun
G                        C             G
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
G                          C               D
And the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast
       Em     Esus4        Em       Esus4              C            D    C D C D
But farewell Angelina, the sky is changing colour, and I must leave fast


G                             C             G
King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance
G                               C            G
Valentino-type tangos while the make-up mans hands
G                                C            D
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
       Em      Esus4        Em      Esus4           C         G        C G C G
Says Farewell Angelina, the sky is embarrassed, and I must be gone


G                          C             G
Well machine guns roaring, puppets heave rocks
G                                       C         G
While the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of clocks
G                          C                 D
Call me anything you like, I will never deny it
Em          Esus4      Em      Esus4        C                       G     C G C G
Farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it’s quiet
