| E | E7 | A | |
| The | sunbeam hit the Jim Beam and ri | cocheted off a bottle of | Coke |
| B7 | Esus2 | E | Esus4 | E | |
| Cut | thru the still smolderin' second hand night before | smoke |
| E | E7 | A | |
| The | whiskey's half empty, half | in me, my enemy, and my | friend |
| B7 | E | |
| Well last | night drowned my sorrow, but today is tomorrow | again |
| CHORUS: |
| A | D | A | E | |
| When you | fall for an | angel like | her, you're walkin' on | clouds |
| A | D | A | B | B/C# | B | B/C# | |
| When you're in | love you're so | up you forget to look | down |
| E | E7 | A | A/G# | A | A/G# | |
| The | higher and higher she | took me, the further I | fell |
| B7 | E | |
| And it's | angels like her that send guys like me straight to | hell |
| INTRO |
| E | E7 | A | |
| There's a | ring on her forehead on the | picture where the bottle sat | last night |
| B7 | Esus2 | E | Esus4 | E | |
| It might | look like a halo but I know it's a trick of the | light |
| E | E7 | A | |
| Oooh that | smile on her face has a | way to fool any o | ld fool |
| B7 | E | |
| Yeah she | came straight from Heaven, but I know the devil did | too |
| CHORUS |
| E | E7 | A | A/G# | A | A/G# | |
| Yeah the | higher and higher she | took me, the further I | fell |
| B7 | |
| And it's | angels like her that send guys like me straight to hell |
| OUTRO: B7 E |
