Write A Song A Song/Angeline

(A7) Hum a tune, a tune, hum a tune, you (D) miss her
Words that wouldn't rhyme, wouldn't rhyme... it's (Em9) over (A7)
Start another line, start a line (D) anew

 (Dm) She's the kinda girl, a man, Lord (F) remembers
(A7) Remembers, (D) remembers
(Dm) She's the kinda girl you just got to (F) love her
 (A7)If you know her and I (D) knew her

(G) Sitting in the dark in the (G/f) darkness (C) of my room,  
I wonder why I (F) look the sky, 
Look the sky begins to softly (D) cry

Morning new (G) running through the grass through (G/f) the sweet green (C) morning dew, Clinging to her (F) golden hair, 
I had to (D) leave her

(G) Yesterdays (G/f#) newspaper (G/e) forecast (G/d) no rain for (Am)
(D7) Yesterdays news was old news the skies are all (G) grey (G/f#) (G/e) (D)
(G) Winter is in (G/f#) labor and (G/e) soon give birth to the (Am) Spring
(D7) And sprinkle the meadow with flowers for my (G) Angeline (G/f#) (G/e) (G/d)

Heartache and sorrow and sadness, unendlingly find
Wings on her memory with them, she flies to my mind
She stretched her arms for a moment then went back to sleep
While morning stood watching ever so silently weep

She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floor
The cold hardwood creaked with each step that I made to the door
There I turned to her gently and said, 'Hun, just look, it's spring'
Knowing outside the window the winter looked for Angeline
But yesterday's newspaper forcast no rain for today

(G) Sitting in the dark in the (G/f) darkness (C) of my room,  
I wonder why I (F) look the sky, 
Look the sky begins to softly (D) cry

Morning new (G) running through the grass through (G/f) the sweet green (C) morning dew, Clinging to her (F) golden hair, 
I had to (D) leave her

  1. I believe the title of this song is "Write A Song A Song/Angeline." It's my favorite Mickey Newbury song. Thank you, Peter J. Curry
