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