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