Fairport Convention - Angel Delight

      [Intro]
A  G  F#  C#  F#

[Verse]
A                  G
John the Wood went out one day
   D                     G
To view the scene from a different angle
   A                   G
He stood and watched a child at play
  D              G
A-tinkling on an old triangle
A                     G
Dave the Drum who was passing by
D                     G
Bought the toy with a coin he'd picked up
A                         G
You should have seen the gleam in his eye
      D                 G          A          G
As he saw it soon, his, cleaned-up shined-up
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse]
B
Out in the rain, if you want a cup of tea
          E
Dodge the puddles in the yard
    B
The lord of the land's coming round to complain
     A    G  F# C# F#
It's hard

[Verse]
    A                 G
The peacock flew to a very high tree
   D                    G
He didn't like grass or concrete fairies
A                G
Put me where the action is
    D                  G
I'd rather be with the next-door hairies
A               G
Simon spied the bathroom door
D               G
In his hand's a herb shampoo
A               G
Waiting for the waters raw
   D      N.C.
So little time, so much to do
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse]
B
Stand in a line, take a book along
        E
There's time for a game of cards
B
Now it's your turn and the water's all gone
     A    G  F# C# F#
It's cold

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
    A                      G
The next to appear was the Mighty Gled
   D                   G
He needs a rest, or at least he said so
    A                        G
You probably think that he's flipped his lid
          D                      G
'Cause he wears high heels and a snow-white trousseau
A                       G
Five foot three, yet he stands so tall
    D                 G
And on the ground his feet are never
A                    G
Friends may come and friends may go
        D                G       A    G
But the Fiddle Bill goes on for ever
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse]
    B
The music room would make you grin
     E
It's cold as a freezing pit
          B
There's a hole in the wall where a lorry came in
      A     G  F# C# F#
Let's split

[Verse]
A              G
I quite like a breast of chicken
        D                     G
And I'm crazy about aspic and roast quails
        A                G
But the sight to make my pulse rate quicken
     D              G
Is a dozen nice fat snails
A                          G
On the other hand, there's Pegg on the bass
      D                  G
Whose tastes in food are very much wider
A                        G
You'll see a smile light up his face
     D      N.C.
At a couple of kippers and a glass of cider
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
A                    D
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse]
B
Stand on a chair if you want to watch the box
    E
The fleas can jump a mile
B
Peer through the haze watching Top Of The Pops
    A     G  F#
And smile
