Farewell Angelina

Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown 
F C Csus4 C 
Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound 
F C (Baez=G) Csus4 C 
The triangle tingles, the music plays slow 
Am Em Am Em F C Csus4 C 
But farewell Angelina, the night is on fire, and I must go 
 
There is no use in talking and there‘s no need for blame 
There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same 
The table stands empty by the edge of the stream 
But farewell Angelina, the sky‘s changing colors, and I must leave 
 
The jacks and the queens they have forsake the courtyard 
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard 
In the space where the duece and the ace once ran wild 
Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I‘ll see you after a while 
 
See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun 
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun 
And the coporels and the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast 
But farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave fast 
 
King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance 
Valentino-type tangos while the hero‘s clean hands 
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarass anyone 
Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over, and I must be gone 
 
The camoflaged parrot, he flutters from fear 
When something he doesn‘t know about suddenly appears 
What can not be imitated perfect must die 
Farewell Angelina, the sky‘s flooding over, and I must go where it is dry 
 
Machine guns are roaring, puppets heave rocks 
At misunderstood visions and at the faces of clocks 
Call me any name you like, I will never deny it 
But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it is quiet
