Biography:
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

Cowboy Junkies: Angel Mine
C Am Em F C G x2
C Am
He searched for those wings that he knew
Em
that this angel should have at her back.
F
And although he can't find them
C
he really don't mind
G
because he knows they'll grow back.
C Am
And he reached for that halo that he knows
Em
that she had when she first caught his eye.
F
Although his hand came back empty
C
he's really not worried
G
because he knows it still shines.
[Chorus]
F G
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
C G F
or keep this tarnished halo shined
F G
but I'll never betray your trust
C
angel mine.
C Am
I search all the time on the ground
Em
for our shadows cast side by side.
F C
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
G
that you exist and are mine
C Am
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real
Em
as that smile in your eyes.
F C
But I F have to keep touching and smelling
G
and tasting for fear it's all lies.
[Chorus]
F G
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
C G F
or keep this tarnished halo shined
F G
but I'll never betray your trust
C
angel mine.
C Am
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps
Em
with your voice in my head.
F
And I could tell by your breathing
C
that you were still sleeping
G
I re-peated the words that you had said.
[Chorus]
F G
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
C G F
or keep this tarnished halo shined
F G
but I'll never betray your trust
C
angel mine.
F G
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
C G F
or keep this tarnished halo shined
F G
but I'll never betray your trust
C
angel mine.
C Am Em F C G (repeat and fade)
