intro.....A  E  B  E     A  E  B  E


He was a bouncer at a Jungle Pony's bodyshop
           A
She was a night cashier down at the stop & shop
        E
He was kinda good lookin' she was kinda fun
                  B                         E
Down 'neath that big 'ol tree out where the river runs


             A 
Cho.. Little Angelyne, little Angelyne
              E
      As the sun goes down & the moonlght shines
                    B
      Back of the greyhound bus sat two lovers entwined
                             E
      Just big Bill & little Angelyne



She was just in from Texas didn't know her way around
       A
So he took her to a roadhouse on the edge of town
              E
There in the beer hall light Lord she looked real fine
        B                                   
It was there he popped the question that was on his mind

          E
It was a simple ceremony just a friend or two
             A
The preacher asked if they do & they said they do
               E
She bought the tickets on her daddy's American Express
            B                  E
Bought the greyhound bus & a wedding dress

       E (NC)
In a 6 dollar motel room with his honey bun
For 7 glorious days in the Nevada sun
He played the table she pumped the slots full of dimes
They came back broke but they had a good time
     E
Now many fell apart in the years come & gone 
         A
But Big Bill and little angel they last on & on
       E
They held together when the times looked real slim
           B                        A
Had a boy looked like her & a girl looked like him


Cho....

Inst Cho... to end.....
