Angie Baby Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in the key of Gm)
A great lyric, it plays out like
an episode of 'The Twilight Zone'
You live your life in the songs you hear...
...on the rock'n'roll radi - o,
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends,
That's a really nice place to go,
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool, but they had to take you out of school,
You're a little touched, you know,
Angie ba -by!
Lovers appear in your room each night,
And they whirl you across the floor,
But they always seem to fade away,
When your Daddy knocks on the door,
"Angie, girl, are you alright? Tell the radi - o,'goodnight'!"
All alone once more,
Angie ba -by!
An - gie baby, you're a... spe - cial lady,
Living in a world of make - be - lieve-----------,
Well... may -be!
Stopping at her house is a neighbour boy,
With evil on his mind,
'Cause he's been peeking in Angie's room at night,
Through her window blind,
"I see your folks have gone away! Would you dance with me today?
I'll show you how to have a good time,
Angie ba - by!"(An-----gie, ba - by! An--------------------|gie, ba - by!)
When he walks in her room, he feels confused, like he walked into a play,
And the music's so loud, it spins him around, till his soul has lost it's way,
Em F#m G(type2)
And as she turns the volume down,
G(type2) Ab A
He's getting smaller with the sound,
It seems to pull him off the ground, toward the radio he's bound,
Never to be found---------!
The headlines read that a boy disappeared, and everyone thinks he died,
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover,
Who keeps her satis - fied,
It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain, radio by your side,
Angie ba -by!
An - gie baby, you're a... spe - cial lady,
Living in a world of make - be - lieve---------------------,
Well, may - be!(An-----gie, ba - by! An--------------------|gie, ba - by!)
