More accurate chords to the song are posted in my website at http://ddpro.ucoz.com/tpchords/angie.htm. I'll finish the Tom Paxton chords section as soon as possible.
Jason
G C/G G
Angie, from where I stand,
C/G G
The water breaks on a spit of sand,
D7/F#
How does it survive?
Angie, for all I know,
The sand is tired and ready to go,
G D7/F#
It's less than alive.
Em
But you, so ready to leave,
D7/F#
The first trembling leaf to break loose in the Fall.
Angie, so ready to fly,
Is there time to ask why?
G D7/F#
Is there no time at all?
Em Am
Or, is there nothing hidden I can blame?
D G
Angie, if Angie's your name.
Em
Angie, I was getting along;
G
Nothing quite right, but nothing too wrong;
D7/F#
I didn't know you existed.
Ran my life like a safe machine;
Lost myself in a safe routine;
G D7/F# Em
But now it's all twisted.
Am
With my hand on the knife
G
For the rest of my life.
