[Intro]
F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F
[Verse]
It started with the Gring I wear
A Cjourney few would care to shareF  
Some say it is the Gbraggart's boast
A Clife along the Barbary Coast
FPirate ships with Gjet black sailsC  
Sirens clinging to the railsF  
Broken victims Emwalk the plank
BeAmfore we struck the E7rock and sankF  
[Chorus]
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
[Verse]
Washed up on a Gwelcome beach
Where Cexcise men could never reachF  
Riding horseback Gthrough the lanes
CSoothed the traveller's aches and painsF  
Raising cattle, Gtending sheep
It's Ceasier than losing sleep
The Fyoung girl's fancies Gloosely spun
The Cmonkey and the damage done
The Fprisoner finally Gwalking free
To Cspring in Little Italy
FWhen in doubt, just Emmake a list
AmAll that was, was E7ever missedF  
[Chorus]
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
[Instrumental]
F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F
[Verse]
The storm has finally Gcome to pass
I Cpour my tears into the glass
You Fcan't erase the Glines of age
Or Cwords upon the printed page
The Fdragonfly with Gfolded wings
Has Cfound the pleasure true love bringsF  
And while we live in GTiffany time
The Cring has stood the test of timeF  
Nowadays it's Gfar more clear
With Call the loves I held so dearF  
Swirling gently Gthrough the mist
With Csofter tongue and velvet fist
As Fthough they seem to Gunderstand
It Cstarted out with nothing planned
The Fdays are closing Emin so fast
It's Amtime to find some E7peace at lastF  
[Chorus]
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
[Instrumental]
F  Em  Am  E7  F  Em  Am  E7  F
[Chorus]
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many Gangels have CfallenF  
Too many Gangels have Amfallen at my Ffeet
Too many GangelsAm  E

And while we live in Tiffany time

Nowadays it's far more clear

Swirling gently through the mist

With softer tongue and velvet fist

It started out with nothing planned

It's time to find some peace at last
