Songs Of The Angels

          G                    D/F#       Em            C
There's a cardboard box in the alley, off St. Elmo Avenue
G                   D/F#                 Em             C
Once  belonged to a kitchen stove before it was ever used
          G              D/F#             Em                   C
There's a bedroll in the box, where every night she lays her head
G                        D/F#                  Em7                        C
If she don't keep her eye on them both, there'll be no box, and no more bed
Em7   C D

[Verse 2]
          G                    D/F#         Em            C
There's a shopping cart in the alley with a bedroll and a box
G                  D/F#       Em                          C
Once belonged to a Bi-Lo just down the road a couple blocks
G                D/F#       Em            C
In that cart she cages an umbrella and a saxophone
G                    D/F#          Em7            C
The umbrella for the rain, and the sax is for the cold
Em7   Cadd9 D
Ohh

[Chorus]
G               D           Cadd9                     G   D
Some nights she dreams of a home, one she's never known
G               D                Cadd9                       D
Some nights she sings herself to sleep with the songs of the angels
G D/F# Em C (x2)

[Verse 3]
          G              D/F#           Em              C
There's a shotgun in the alley with the bedroll and the box
G                    D/F#           Em               C
Once belonged to Jesse James before he was ever caught
G                  D/F#      Em                 C
With that gun she guards her mansion and her cart
G                            D/F#     Em                         C
Because there's nothing like power to keep things the way they are
Em7    Cadd9 D
Ohh

[Chorus]
G               D           Cadd9                     G   D
Some nights she dreams of a home, one she's never known
G               D                Cadd9                       D
Some nights she sings herself to sleep with the songs of the angels
G D/F# Em C

[Bridge]
Am                     C                        G       D/F#   Em
All these nights she dreams of a home, she carries around this hunger in her soul
Am                     C                        D
All these days she's wasted, she's gotta get away from here,
Cadd9                            D
She's gotta leave this box and all her fear

[Chorus]
G               D           Cadd9                     G   D
Some nights she dreams of a home, one she's never known
G               D                Cadd9                       D
Some nights she sings herself to sleep with the songs of the angels

[Outro]
G               D           Cadd9                 G   D
Some nights I dream of a home, one I've never known
G               D                Cadd9                     D   G
Some nights I sing myself to sleep with the songs of the angels
