Chords with lyrics
[Verse]
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
I shot an angel with my father’s rifle
D MajorD C majorC
I should have set it free, but I let it bleed
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC
Made it into taxidermy, hung it on my wall
D MajorD
On my wall
C majorC D MajorD
On my wall
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
I shot an angel, kept it in my backyard
D MajorD C majorC
Hung it out to dry on the clothing line
D MajorD C majorC
Pinned above my bed like the cross
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Of Jesus Christ on my wall
C majorC D MajorD
[Chorus]
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I know one day hell will catch up with me
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I’m sure that I will burn eternally
C majorC D MajorD G+G
One day it will come to claim its pound of flesh
C majorC D MajorD G+G
When it’s done, there won’t be anything left
[Verse]
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
I shot an angel, dragged it to my basement
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Starved it till it died and I did not cry
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Sickness of poacher’s pride
