B
Farewell Angelina
E B
The bells of the crown
E B
Are being stolen by bandits
E B
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
E F#
And the trumpet play slow
G#m D#m
Farewell Angelina
G#m D#m
The sky is on fire
E B
And I must go.
B
Thereʼs no need for anger
E B
Thereʼs no need for blame
E B
Thereʼs nothing to prove
E B
Evʼrythingʼs still the same
Just a table standing empty
E F#
By the edge of the sea
G#m D#m
Farewell Angelina
G#m D#m
The sky is trembling
E B
And I must leave.
B
The jacks and queens
E B
Have forsaken the courtyard
E B
Fifty-two gypsies
E B
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
E F#
And the ace once ran wild
G#m D#m
Farewell Angelina
G#m D#m
The sky is folding
E B
Iʼll see you in a while.
B
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
E B
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
E B
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap
E F#
And they cheer with each blast
G#m D#m
Farewell Angelina
G#m D#m
The skyʼs changing color
E B
And I must leave fast.
B
King Kong, little elves
E B
On the rooftops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
E B
While the make-up manʼs hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
E F#
Not to embarrass anyone
G#m D#m
Farewell Angelina
G#m D#m
The sky is embarrassed
E B
And I must be gone.
B
The machine guns are roaring
E B
The puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
E B
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
E F#
I will never deny it
G#m D#m
Farewell Angelina
G#m D#m
The sky is erupting
E B
I must go where itʼs quiet.
