[Verse 1]
C# F# C#
Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown
F# C# F# C#
Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound
F# G#
The triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky is on fire
F# C#
And I must go
[Verse 2]
F# C#
There's no need for anger, there's no need for blame
F# C# F# C#
There's nothing to prove, everything's still the same
F# G#
Just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling
F# C#
And I must leave
[Verse 3]
F# C#
The jacks and queens have forsaken the courtyard
F# C# F# C#
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guards
F# G#
In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding
F# C#
I'll see you in a while
[Verse 4]
F# C#
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting perched in the sun
F# C# F# C#
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
F# G#
And the neighbours, they clap and they cheer with each blast
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky's changing colour
F# C#
And I must leave fast
[Verse 5]
F# C#
King Kong, little elves, on the rooftops they dance
F# C# F# C#
Valentino-type tangos, while the make-up man's hands
F# G#
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky is embarrassed
F# C#
And I must be gone
[Verse 6]
F# C#
The machine guns are roaring, and puppets heave rocks
F# C# F# C#
The fiends nail time-bombs to the hands of the clocks
F# G#
Call me any name you like, I will never deny it
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky is empty
F# C#
I must go where it's quiet
F# G#
Call me any name you like, I will never deny it
A#m Fm A#m G#
Farewell Angelina, the sky is empty
F# C#
I must go where it's quiet
