G
[VERSE 1]
C
As the cafe was closing
D
On a warm summer night
C G
Cathy was cleaning the spoons
C G Em A
The radio played the hit parade
D D7
And I hummed along with the tune
C G
She asked me to change the station
C D
She said the song just drove her insane
G C
But it wasn't the music playing
D G
It was me that she was trying to blame
[CHORUS]
C G
And the sky is black and still now
C D
On the hill where the angels sing
C G
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
D G
Looks just like a diamond ring
C D G
And its far, far from me
[VERSE 2]
C
Well, I leaned on my left leg
D
In the parking lot dirt
C G
Cathy was closing the lights
C G Em
A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
A D D7
And I wished for once I wasn't right
C G
Why we used to laugh together
C D
And we'd dance to any old song
G C
You know, she still laughs with me
D G
But she waits just a second to long
[CHORUS]
C G
The sky is black and still now
C D
On the hill where the angels sing
C G
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
D G
Looks just like a diamond ring
C D G
And its far, far from me
[INSTRUMENTAL:]
G C G C
D G C D G
[VERSE 3]
C
Well, I started the engine
D
And I gave it some gas
C G
And Cathy was closing her purse
C G Em
We hadn't gone far in my beat up old car
A D D7
And I was prepared for the worst
C G
"Will you still see me tomorrow?"
C D
"No, I've got too much to do"
G C
Well, a question ain't really a question
D G
When you know the answer too
[CHORUS]
C G
And the sky is black and still now
C D
On the hill where the angels sing
C G
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
D G
Looks just like a diamond ring
C D G
And its far, far from me
