Verse:
          G
It started with the ring I wear
 C                F
A journey few would care to share
          G
Some say it is the braggart's boast
 C
A life along the Barbary Coast
F         G        C
Pirate ships with jet black sails
               F
Sirens clinging to the rails
        Em
Broken victims walk the plank
 Am         E7      F
Before we struck the rock and sank

Chorus:
     G      Am      F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G      C    F
Too many angels have fallen
     G      Am      F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G      C    F
Too many angels have fallen

Verse:
        G
Washed up on a welcome beach
   C               F
Where excise men could never reach
         G
Riding horseback through the lanes
C                    F
Soothed the traveller's aches and pains
        G
Raising cattle, tending sheep
   C
It's easier than losing sleep
  F          G
The young girl's fancies loosely spun
  C
The monkey and the damage done
  F        G
The prisoner finally walking free
  C
To spring in Little Italy
F          Em
When in doubt, just make a list
Am        E7     F
All that was, was ever missed

Chorus:
     G      Am      F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G      C    F
Too many angels have fallen
     G      Am      F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G      C    F
Too many angels have fallen

Instrumental:
F Em Am E7 F Em Am E7 F Em Am E7 F

Verse:
           G
The storm has finally come to pass
 C
I pour my tears into the glass
  F        G
You can't erase the lines of age
  C
Or words upon the printed page
  F       G
The dragonfly with folded wings
  C                  F
Has found the pleasure true love brings
           G
And while we live in Tiffany time
  C                F
The ring has stood the test of time
       G
Nowadays it's far more clear
   C               F
With all the loves I held so dear
        G
Swirling gently through the mist
   C
With softer tongue and velvet fist
  F          G
As though they seem to understand
  C
It started out with nothing planned
  F        Em
The days are closing in so fast
   Am        E7      F
It's time to find some peace at last

Chorus:
     G      Am      F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G      C    F
Too many angels have fallen
     G      Am      F
Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G      C    F
Too many angels have fallen

Instrumental:
F Em Am E7 F Em Am E7 F

Chorus:
     G      Am      F

Too many angels have fallen at my feet
     G    Am E
Too many angels
