Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]In and out of the front door,
Ran [Am]twelve back-door angels.
[C]angels.[G][D][Em]
[C]Their hair [D]was a gol[G]den-brown
[C]They [Am]They didn't see me[D]
wink my [Bm]eye [Em].

[Verse 2]
'Tis said they put we [Em]men [D]to sleep
With just a [C]whisper,[G]
[D]An [Em]d touch the[C] hea[D]ds
of [G]dying [C]dog[Am]s
And make [D]them linger[Bm].[Em]

[Verse 3]
They carry their [Em]candles high
[D]And they light the dar[C]k hou[G]rs.[D][Em]
[C]And [D]sweep all [G]the country [C]clean[Am]
With pressed and scented [D]wild-flowers.
[Bm]They

their roses red,

[C]And [D]next time the [G]die is [C]cast,[Am]
He'll throw [D]a six [Bm]or two.[Em]

[Verse 7]
In and out of the back-door ran
ran
One front-door angel,
angel,
Her hair was a golden-brown
She She smiled and I think she winked her eye.
