Intro:
F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F

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