[Verse 1]
[Am]Angeli[G]ne, Angeline,
darker nights I've [Am]never [G]seen
I [Am]don't love [F]the[G]se East Texas pines
Where I [C]can't find my sleep in
the [G]shadows so [Am]deep
And dark [C]as [G]the doubts [C]in my min[G]d
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Freight train on the [C]trestle rolling
[G]east towards the [C]Natchez[F]
[C]Like the [Am]one I got off o[C]f so l[G]ong [Em]ago
Out[C]side [F]of [C]a small town where
I didn't [G]mean to settle [F]down[C]
[G]Not [C]knowing [Am]the seeds I [G]would sow
[Am]Barefoot in the autumn [C]weeds,

[Verse 3]
[G]
cotton dress hanging to your [F]knees
To [Am]the eyes of a [C]stranger
[G]you [Em]offered a smile
[C]Took a job in your daddy's fields,
didn't [G]seem like such a bad [F]deal
At least [C]it [Am]would do for [G]a while

[Verse 4]
[G]
We were [Am]both young and [C]unabashed,
[G]we took what life off[F]ered
While your [Am]folks were distrac
[C]ted or [G]too tired to [Em]care
As [C]the cold gripped the land the
[G]fates forced our [F]hand
[C]Your dresses fit [Am]tighter [G]with the spring in [F]the
[C]air[G][F][C][G][C]
[G][Em][Am][C][F][C][G]

[Verse 5]
Now I [Am]watch the trains [C]rattle on from the
[G]seat of [F]the tractor
Your daddy's [C]old harness
[Am]still [G]hangs in the [Em]barn
And your [C]mama [Fm]don't [C]like it that our
[G]children all [F]scattered
She swears [G]it's my [Am]blood,
it was not [G]meant to [Em]farm

[Verse 6]
And you [Am]and I don't t[C]alk a lot,
we [G]don't really have [F]to
We've [Am]spent many a [C]year read
[G]ing each [Em]other's minds
[C]We gave up the lightning,
now we [G]don't bother fight[F]ing
These [C]things will [Am]happen [G]in time

[Verse 7]
[G]
An[F]geline, [C]An geline,
darker [G]nights I've never [F]seen
I [Am]don't love these [C]East Texas [G]pines
Where I [C]can't find my sleep
[G]in the shadows so [Am]deep
And [G]dark as [C]the doubt[G]s in my mind
