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