INTRO:

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
