Tom : G
INTRO: G
C G Em C Bm
The angel rides with hunch-backed children
C G Em C Bm
Poison oozing from his engine
C G Em C Bm
Wielding love as a lethal weapon
C G C D
On his way to hubcap heaven
C G Em C D Dsus4 D
Baseball cards poked in his spokes
C G Em C Bm
His boots in oil he's patiently soaked
C G Em C D Dsus4 D
The roadside attendant nervously jokes
C G Em C D Dsus4 D
As the angel's tires strokes his precious pavement
C G Em C Bm
Well the interstate's choked With nomadic hordes
C G Em C D Dsus4 D
In Volkswagen vans With full running boards dragging great anchors
C G Em C Bm
Followin' dead-end signs in..to the sores
C G Em C D Dsus4 D
The angel rides by humpin' his hunk metal whore
Am Em G Dsus4 D
Madison Avenue's claim to fame in a trainer bra with eyes like rain
F Csus4 C F Am D
She rubs against the weather-beaten frame and asks the angel for his name
C G Em C D
Off in the distance the marble dome
C G Em C D
Reflects across the flatlands with a naked feel off into parts unknown
C G Em C Bm
The woman strokes his polished chrome
C G Em D
And lies beside the angel's bones
Main guitar figure for verse:
G Em Bm C
