Difficulty: Novice

CHORUS:
FF     C majorC      G+G         FF
Angeline, Angeline, darker nights I've never seen
A minorAm        C majorC     G+G
I don't love these East Texas pines
FF       C majorC      G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Where I can't find my sleep in the shadows so deep
A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
And dark as the doubts in my mind


VERSE 1:
A minorAm        C majorC       G+G        FF
Slow train on the trestle, going east 'cross the Neches
A minorAm    C majorC    G+G
Like the one I got off of a long time ago
FF     C majorC          G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
Outside of a little town where I never meant to settle down
A minorAm     C majorC       G+G
Not knowing the seeds I would sow

VERSE 2:
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G        FF
Barefoot in the autumn weeds, cotton dress hanging to your knees
A minorAm    C majorC    G+G
To the eyes of a stranger you offered a smile
A minorAm        C majorC       G+G        Fmaj7Fmaj7
I went to work in your daddy's fields, didn't seem like such a bad deal
A minorAm     C majorC       G+G
At least it would do for a while


VERSE 3:
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G        FF
We were both young and unabashed, we took what life offered
A minorAm    C majorC    G+G
When the folks were distracted or too tired to care
A minorAm        C majorC       G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
With a frost on the land the fates forced our hand
A minorAm       C majorC       G+G
Your dresses fit tighter with spring in the air


CHORUS:
FF     C majorC      G+G         FF
Angeline, Angeline, darker nights I've never seen
A minorAm        C majorC     G+G
I don't love these East Texas pines
FF       C majorC      G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Where I can't find my sleep in the shadows so deep
A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
And dark as the doubts in my mind

VERSE 4:
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G        FF
Now I watch the trains rattle on from the seat of the tractor
A minorAm    C majorC    G+G
Your daddy's old harness still hangs in the barn
A minorAm        C majorC       G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
And your mama don't like it that our children all scattered
A minorAm       C majorC       G+G
She swears it's my blood: it was not meant to farm


VERSE 5:
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G        FF
And you and I don't talk a lot, we really don't have to
A minorAm        C majorC      G+G
We spent many years reading each other's minds
A minorAm        C majorC       G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
We used up the lightning, now we don't bother fighting
A minorAm       C majorC       G+G
Such things will happen in time

CHORUS:
FF     C majorC      G+G         FF
Angeline, Angeline, darker nights I've never seen
A minorAm        C majorC     G+G
I don't love these East Texas pines
FF       C majorC      G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Where I can't find my sleep in the shadows so deep
A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
And dark as the doubts in my mind
