Intro: G F C D G F C D Vers 1: G D I was heading home for the weekend but I missed the evening train Am C Stranded and left standing outside Conn’lly in the rain G D I called my old friend Tommy, "have you room for me to stay " Am C D G He said, "make your way to Greenhills, get the 77A" Vers 2: G D I paid my fare and went upstairs and grabbed the last seat left Am C It wasn't that she stole my heart but pure and downright theft G D For sat beside me was a vision I had never known Am C D G She didn't notice me, her head was buried in her phone
Chorus: C G Em Well, I'm no scholar but it's not every day C D You see an angel upstairs on the 77A C G Em Well, I'm no saint but I knew right away C C/B Am C D G I died and gone to heaven on the 77A C C/B Am C D G I died and gone to heaven on the 77A Vers 3: G D I tried a little small talk, asked her where she'd been Am C She said she'd been to feed the ducks suburban Stephen's Green G D But I wasn't even listening, I was deep inside a trance Am C D G Trying to figure out how I could take her to the dance Chorus: C G Em Well, I'm no scholar but it's not every day C D You see an angel upstairs on the 77A C G Em Well, I'm no saint but I knew right away C C/B Am C D G I died and gone to heaven on the 77A Bridge: D Am "Oh hey, and just get on with it if you're going to ask me out!"
