intro.....A E B E A E B 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
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 cho....
E (NC)
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.....
