Borrowed Angel by Mel Tillis
G C G
Her fingers feel so gentle with her hand in mine
E7
Her hair feels like silk on my arms
D7 G C G
Her lips tell me so sweetly that she's mine alone
C G D7 G
Until we part tonight and she goes home
D7 C G
Borrowed angel belongs to someone else
A7 D7
I love my borrowed Angel I just can't help myself
G C G
That ring on her finger don't belong to me
C G
But she loves me and I know she'll save
D7 G
Some borrowed time for me
C G
I wish that I could have her more than just tonight
E7 A7 D7
We can't go on like this it isn't right
G C G
When that lonesome feeling comes knocking on my door
C G D7 G
I'll call my borrowed angel to ease the pain once more
D7 C G
Borrowed angel belongs to someone else
A7 D7
I love my borrowed Angel I just can't help myself
G C G
That ring on her finger don't belong to me
C G
But she loves me and I know she'll save
D7 G
Some borrowed time for me
If you want to change the "Key" for this song, Mel Tillis stutters as everyone knows, for him it doesn't seem to be a problem, if the rest of us could sing like he does it most likely wouldn't be a problem for us either. His great sense of humor lets him turn what would be a handicap into fame and fortune, my hat's off to him. This is another one of his songs that simply put, is beautiful.
