Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown
GCG
Being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound
GCD
Well the triangles tingle, the trumpets plays slow
EmEsus4EmEsus4CGG
Say farewell Angelina, the sky is on fire, and I must go
GCG
There?s no need for anger, there's no need for blame
GCG
There?s nothing to prove, Everything?s still the same
GCD
Just the table standing empty by the edge of the sea
EmEsus4EmEsus4CGG
Say farewell Angelina, the sky's trembling, and I must leave
GCG
Well the jack and the queen have forsaken the courtyard
GCG
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard
GCD
In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild
EmEsus4EmEsus4CGG
Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I'll see you in a while
GCG
See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun
GCG
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
GCD
And the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast
EmEsus4EmEsus4CDD
But farewell Angelina, the sky is changing colour, and I must leave fast
GCG
King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance
GCG
Valentino-type tangos while the make-up mans hands
GCD
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
EmEsus4EmEsus4CGG
Says Farewell Angelina, the sky is embarrassed, and I must be gone
GCG
Well machine guns roaring, puppets heave rocks
GCG
While the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of clocks
GCD
Call me anything you like, I will never deny it
EmEsus4EmEsus4CGG
Farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it's quiet
