G+G 
C majorC G+G C majorC
Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born
G+G C majorC G+G 
D MajorD
Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as golden as the corn
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
She was a mountain angel certified
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pride
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Everybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful life
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived
G+G C majorC G+G
And ohh, she fell so deeply
G+G C majorC G+G
Ooooh, she couldn't stop
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She gave herself to him, milled it completely
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
He lifted her so high he let her drop
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
The wicked handsome stranger left the way he came
G+G C majorC
Broke her heart and broke her mind
G+G D MajorD
She never was the same
E minorEm C majorC
They say he was the devil
G+G C majorC
That had come to steal her soul
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
She never loved another it was told
G+G C majorC
They say she had a baby
G+G C majorC
Some say that it had died
G+G C majorC
They it's just as well
G+G D MajorD
As it had been the devil's child
G+G C majorC
They say good conquers evil
G+G C majorC
But here, evil won the prize
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
So the mountain angel took to the wild
G+G C majorC G+G
And ooh, she couldn't take it
G+G C majorC G+G
Years passed and she had long since lost her mind
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She waited for him as her beauty faded
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Her parents died from grief before their time
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Beside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sit
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Talking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for sure
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Possessed they say by satan's insane lure
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
High a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seen
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
They'd see the crazy lady then run away
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
The lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witch
G+G C majorC
She made those wailing mournful sounds
G+G C majorC
That you could hear for miles
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died
G+G C majorC G+G
And ooh, her ghost is callin'
G+G C majorC G+G
She's waiting for the ones that she adored
G+G C majorC G+G
Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Her spirit roams these hills forever more
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
The mountain angel's voices ever more
