There's No Wings On My Angel
Recorded by Eddy Arnold
Written by Cy Coben, Irving Melsher, Eddy Arnold
This hit #6 on Country Chart in 1949
Played in D to match youtube video (no capo needed.)
I have to transpose to G for my personal vocal ability.
Special note; take note of the especially 'high' vocal parts
that Eddy adds to parts of the song.
Instrumental lead-in basically first two lines of song.
D D7 G D A7 D
There's no wings on my angel cause she's not from heaven above
D D7 G D A7 D D7
No ha-lo on my angel but she's still the one that I love
G D
I know that she flirts I know she's untrue
A E7 A A7
But I love her so so what can I do
D D7 G D A7 D
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me
Instrumental, several verses (three or four?) played with great
style.
D D7 G D A7 D
There's no wings on my angel the devil is there in her eyes
D D7 G D A7 D D7
No gold crown on my angel she's fooling no one with her lies
G D
I know love is blind but still I can see
A E7 A A7
That my love for her means sweet misery
D D7 G D A7 D
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me
End.
