Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name

@SONG: "Misguided Angel"
Intro (w/harmonica): DADAGADGDAD DA Yeah I said "Momma he's crazy and he scares me DA But I want him by my side GADG Though he's wild and he's bad and sometimes just plain mad DAD I need him to keep me satisfied"
I said "Papa don't cry cause it's alright And I see you in some of his ways Though he might not give me the love that you wanted I'll love him the rest of my days"
GA Misguided angel hangin over me GAD Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory GADG Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead DAD Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
I said "Brother speak to me of passion You said never to settle for nothin less Well it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks His smile, his anger, and his kisses" Yeah I said "Sister don't you understand? He's all I ever wanted in a man I'm tired of sittin round the t.v. every night Hoping I'm finding a Mister Right"
Misguided angel hangin over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece a lead Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
DA He says "Baby don't listen to what they say GAD There comes a time when you'll have to break away" GADG He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our lives DAD It's time to let them go and become my wife"
DA Misguided angel hangin over me DA Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory GAD Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead (A capella) Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
