C majorC           DmDm
Coulda held on to that long smooth neck
FF           C majorC
Let your hand remember every fret

Fingers touching each shiny string
  DmDm      FF
But you let go of everything

Followers would cling to you

Some threw roses at your feet

And watch you pass out on the street

Feed you and pay off all your debts

[Verse 3]
C majorC          DmDm
Some kind of saviour singing the blues
 FF        C majorC
A augmentedA derelict in your duct tape shoes
   DmDm           FF
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
DmDm        FF
Looking like you didn't care
    C majorC
Drunken angel
C majorC             DmDm
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
FF          C majorC
Over the strings of your guitar
  DmDm        FF
The worn down places in the wood
   DmDm        FF
That once had made you feel so good
    C majorC
Drunken angel


[Chorus]

Drunken angel
FF       C majorC
You're on the other side
