       A  E  B  E     A  E  B  E 
E 
He was a bouncer at a Jungle Pony's bodyshop 
           A 
She was a night cashier down at the stop & shop 
        E 
He was kinda good lookin' she was kinda fun 
                  B                         E 
Down 'neath that big 'ol tree out where the river runs 
             A  
Cho.. Little Angelyne, little Angelyne 
       E 
As the sun goes down & the moonlght shines 
            B 
Back of the greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined 
                       E 
Just big Bill & little Angelyne 
 E                    
She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around 
       A 
So he took her to a roadhouse on the edge of town 
              E 
There in the beer hall light Lord she looked real fine 
        B                                    
It was there he popped the question that was on his mind 
          E 
It was a simple ceremony just a friend or two 
             A 
The preacher asked if they do & they said they do 
               E 
She bought the tickets on her daddy's American Express 
            B                  E 
Bought the greyhound bus & a wedding dress   
Cho.... 
inst verse.... 
inst cho.... 
       E (no chord) 
In a 6 dollar motel room with his honey bun 
For 7 glorious days in the Nevada sun 
He played the table she pumped the slots full of dimes 
They came back broke but they had a good time 
     E 
Now many fell apart in the years come & gone  
         A 
But Big Bill and little angel they last on & on 
       E 
They held together when the times looked real slim 
           B                        A 
Had a boy looked like her & a girl looked like him 
Cho.... 
Cho... 
Inst Cho... 
Cho... 
Cho... 
Inst Cho... to end.....
