Written by Lucinda Williams
Tabbed by CJWilky

[Intro]
C Dm F C
C Dm F C
C
[Verse 1]
C Dm
Sun came up it was another day
F C
And the sun went down, you were blown away
Dm F
Why did you let go of your guitar
Dm F
Why did you ever let it go that far
C
Drunken angel
C Dm
Coulda held on to that long smooth neck
F C
Let your hand remember every fret
Dm F
Fingers touching each shiny string
Dm F
But you let go of everything
C
Drunken angel
[Chorus]
Dm
Drunken angel
F C
You're on the other side
Dm
Drunken angel
F C
You're on the other side
[Verse 2]
C Dm
Followers would cling to you
F C
Hang around just to meet you
Dm F
Some threw roses at your feet
Dm F
And watch you pass out on the street
C
Drunken angel
C Dm
Feed you and pay off all your debts
F C
Kiss your brow, taste your sweat
Dm F
Write about your soul, your guts
Dm F
Criticise you and wish you luck
C
Drunken angel
[Chorus]
Dm
Drunken angel
F C
You're on the other side
Dm
Drunken angel
F C
You're on the other side
[Break]
C Dm F C
Dm F Dm F
C
[Verse 3]
C Dm
Some kind of saviour singing the blues
F C
A derelict in your duct tape shoes
Dm F
Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair
Dm F
Looking like you didn't care
C
Drunken angel
C Dm
Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart
F C
Over the strings of your guitar
Dm F
The worn down places in the wood
Dm F
That once had made you feel so good
C
Drunken angel
[Chorus]
Dm
Drunken angel
F C
You're on the other side
Dm
Drunken angel
F C
You're on the other side
[Verse 4]

Why'd you let go of your guitar
