[Verse 1]
Am             G
Underneath the cotton sun
Am                 G
The freedom we had just begun
Am               G
Sweeter than the finest rum
C       G        Am
With my Angeline
Am                G
A home with every kind of tree
Am               G
Built it without anything
Am              G
Life is like a peach in cream
C       G       Am
With my Angeline


[Chorus]
C                 G
Angeline, oh, Angeline
            Am      C                F    C
She had the softest smile that I had ever seen
C            G
Sweet summer rain
      F        C       G   Em   Am             G
I just want to be able see her again (ba ba da da)

[Verse 2]
Am             G
That day I was walking down
Am                    G
The railroad tracks I heard the sound
Am                  G
The sheriff, he was mighty proud
C             G         Am
And told me I had to pay
Am                     G
The foreman, he had to come to find
Am             G
Prison folk to work the mine
Am                     G
The judge was there to give me time
C            G        Am
Away from my Angeline


[Chorus]
C                 G
Angeline, oh, Angeline
           Am      C                 F     C
She's the sweetest song that I could ever sing
C           G
Feeling the pain
       F       C          G       Em   Am             G
I just want to be able to sing to her again (ba ba da da)

Am       G

Am       Em

C  G  Am

[Verse 3]
Am          G
Seven years until I'm free
Am               G
Working off this prison fee
Am                    G
My fingers smell like kerosene
     C       G         Am
In a mine in Tennessee
Am          G
Every day I hold my breath
Am           G
Every hour I wish for death
Am              G
Angeline, she's settled west
 C        G         Am
Away from Tennessee


[Chorus]
C                    G
Tennessee, oh, Tennessee
             Am      C                F     C
You have the darkest veins that I had ever seen
C           G
Deep in the mine
     F         C              G   Em Am            G
Angeline, your memories won't let me die (ba ba da da)

Am       G

Am       Em
