[Introduction]
G C G D7 G
[Verse 1]
G C
Last night before I went to sleep my knees dropped to the floor
G D7
I turned me eyes up to the sky and I prayed "Please help me, Lord,
G C
You know I've sowed my wild oats and now the fun's all gone"
G D7 G
And then I heard these tender words and I put them in my song:
[Chorus]
G C
Infamous Angel come on home
G D7
To someone who loves you and knows you needed to roam
G C
Grab your things, a ticket's waiting at the bus depot
G D7 G
For: Infamous Angel, Destination: Home
[Verse 2]
G C
I heard heaven's choir rejoicing as the tears broke from my eyes
G D7
And all at once it lifted the weight from my past life
G C
I found a pen and I left a note on the dresser drawer
G D7 G
"Infamous Angel, she don't live here anymore"
[Chorus]
G C
Infamous Angel come on home
G D7
To someone who loves you and knows you needed to roam
G C
Grab your things, a ticket's waiting at the bus depot
G D7 G
For: Infamous Angel, Destination: Home
[Instrumental]
G C
G D7 G
[Verse 3]
G C
Then I hurried out the back door as quickly as I could
G D7
I went flying down two flights of stairs 'til on the street I stood
G C
And there I took that final look at my old neighborhood
G D7 G
Then I ran down the street proclaiming "Angel gone for good"
[Outro]
G C
Infamous Angels goin' home
G D7
To someone who loves her and knows she needed to roam
G C
She grabbed her things, and claimed the ticket at the bus depot
G D7 G
For: Infamous Angel, Destination: Home
C G D7 C G
Infamous Angel, Destination: Home
