   A         D             A          ESo I got the drinks in and he carried on
   A             D        A           EHe told me of an angel he fell for in Brooklyn

[Verse 3]
     A             D            A           EThat night I slept restless, my heart in a screw press

       A            D         A        EHe was pawning his story for bacon and coffee
       A            D      A   EAnd he smiled as he called my name


He said “I hope you listened to what I was saying!”

A              E   E  EListen to what I’m saying
A                 D    D   DWhen in doubt do something kind
A                E     E    EBe prepared to change your mind
A                    D    D DAnd always leave the past behind
A             E    E  EListen to what I’m saying
