In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels.
CDGCAm
Their hair was a golden-brown ---
AmDDBEm
they didn't see me wink my eye.
EmDC (EmDEm)
`Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper,
CDGCAmDDBEm
And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger.
EmDC (EmDEm)
They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours.
CDGCAmD
And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers.
Solo (I haven't tried too hard here):

EmCmaj7AmC (EmDEm)
They grow all their roses red, and paint our skies blue ---
CDGCAm
drop one penny in every second bowl ---
AmDDBEm
make half the beggars lose,
EmDC (EmDEm)
why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something?
CDGCAm
And call it the name they choose,
AmDDBEm
having chosen nothing.

Think I'll sit down and invent some fool --- some Grand Court Jester.

And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two.
In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel,
Her hair was a golden-brown --- she smiled and I think she winked her eye.
