Tiger Lillies - Angel
D G
She sang like an angel
D G
To the chattering plates
D G
But your pimp and your pusher
D G
You both thought were great
A D
Well, you earned enough money
A D
To pay for your stuff
A D
It's great having brown skin
A D
It doesn't show up
D G
You sang like an angel
D G
To the chattering cups
D G
At the end of the day
D G
You weren't tough enough
A D
Your pimp and your pusher
A D
Well, they beat you up
A D
Well, It's great having brown skin
A D
It doesn't show up
D G
Well, your voice became sand-paper
D G
Sand-paper worn
D G
As your heart it was broken
D G
Your heart it was torn
A D
And when you died
A D
The police all queued up
A D
It's great having brown skin
A D
It doesn't show up
