Three Angels
by the Headstones
(arranged by jeff kerr)
intro:
Three angels settin a table for me tonight
They know my face, they set a place and it's for me tonight
Well I can't disappoint em, I guess I'll join em,
They been waitin on me forever
And I been down, on earth and in this town
And I swear there's gotta be something better
(intro x 2)
New suit, and a new tie, a real nice service for me when I die.
(hold)
New suit, cufflinks, and a new tie, a real nice service for me when i die.
Well that's the thing about livin,
When ya get there, you're seldom forgiven.
And all your best friends are people that you just met.
You can take em or you leave em,
Well they're sittin in this barroom,
And I guess that beats the hell outta,
loneliness, sweet lonliness, sweet lonliness.
They say ya gave it, gave it all away,
Well you got nothin, nothin left to trade.
I hear you sayin, I gave it all away,
(hold)
you've got nothin, nothin left to trade.
(same pattern as first verse)
We're the type, we live and learn, scatter my ashes then you smash the urn.
Into a broken room, with 25 doors that you can open.
And each time you open one, the other 24, they're explodin, explodin.
(same as above)
That's the thing about livin, when you get there you take what you're given
And all your best friends are people you just met.
You can take em or you leave em, they're sittin in this barroom,
but I guess that beats the hell outta lonliness,
sweet lonliness, sweet lonliness, sweet
New suit, new tie, a real nice service for me when I die.
