[Intro]
 B   C#m   D#m   C#m(x2)
[Verse 1]
He'd been Bdealt a bad C#mhand nearly D#mfifty years old
Cleanin' Eglasses, at night in a bar
Only one good hand for to D#mplay him his tunes
On a C#mpiano all tired out aF#nd marred
[Chorus]
And the sEtone angel hung on thBe wall up above
Looked out C#mblind, Eall the nights F#long.
But when the Bone-armed man C#mplayed to an D#mempty salooC#mn,
She Blooked down and Asmiled as he played her his Bsongs.
[Instrumental]
C#m D#m C#m B C#m D#m C#m
[Verse 2]
BDuke, the white SC#mhepherd who D#mguarded the room
Never Eleavin' the back of the bar
Would climb up on the stage and curl D#mup around his feet
As to C#mguard him and his music from F#harm.
[Chorus]
And the sEtone angel hung on thBe wall up above
Looked out C#mblind, Eall the nights F#long.
But when the Bone-armed man C#mplayed to an D#mempty salooC#mn,
She Blooked down and Asmiled as he played her his Bsongs.
[Instrumental]
C#m D#m C#m B C#m D#m C#m
[Verse 3]
I Bheard him one C#mnight,when he D#thought to be alone.
And I lEied and I did him a wrong.
I can't give back the pleasure his D#mmusic gave to me,
I can C#monly give him this F#song.
[Verse 4]
He played Bbetter with one C#mhand than D#mmost men with two.
Yet made Eposters for all of the stars.
And I wish to my heart he could D#mplay for you,
So you'd C#mknow just how happy you F#are.
[Final Chorus]
And the sEtone angel hung on thBe wall up above
And C#mme and the Ebig white F#dog.
All Bstopped once to C#mlisten,to the D#one-armed man C#play
To their Bsmiles in an Aempty Esaloon.
[Outro]
