He plays other stuff based around these standard chords.  For example, on the A,
he lifts on and off the B string.
You can figure that stuff out.

Goodbye angel, hands in your pockets, maybe tomorrow, maybe you'll come back sometime.
                                                                                 AD9sus2
She boards a Greyhound, a ticket to Jersey, a grey-colored backpack full of all her belongings
                                                                                    AD9sus2
Blows a kiss from the window, tells me she loves me and how she's sending letters and drawings
   F#mBut the letters never Ecame
So AI Ewaited by the Bmphone Dto hear it rAing,
waitEed by the Bmphone Dto hear it Aring,
waitEed by the Bmphone Dto hear it ring.
A D

Goodbye angel, hands in your pockets, maybe tomorrow, maybe call me sometime,
                                                                             AD9sus2
Small towns to city, she one days calls me, tells me she's married.  I took it badly
                                                                           AD9sus2
Moments of silence, sounds of her laughing, when are you sending letters and drawings
   F#mBut the letters never Ecame
So AI Ewaited by the Bmphone Dto hear it rAing,
waitEed by the Bmphone Dto hear it Aring,
waitEed by the Bmphone Dto hear it ring.

Goodbye angel, hear you're successful, maybe tomorrow, well maybe you'll come back sometime

Hands in your pockets, here's where you left me, only with memories, when we were just sixteen
   F#mBut the letters never Ecame
So AI Ewaited by the Bmphone Dto hear it rAing,
waitEed by the Bmphone Dto hear it Aring,
waitEed by the Bmphone Dto hear it Aring,
