This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1: ( Repeat A,E,Bm) (The vocal timing is kinda sloppy. I wrote it as close as you can)

A E Bm

She came around here

A E Bm

Past midnight

E Bm

She's always looking soft and far away

A E Bm

Yeah and she knows she's looking she's looking,looking alright(Yeah)

Chorus:

A E Bm D7

hey angel what you trying to be

A E Bm D7

Hey angel what you trying to be

Bm

What you drinkin'

E

Just trying to be polite

Bm A

Looks like a Tanqueray and Kamikaze night

That's all right

Bm A

Why don't you climb on and ride

Verse 2:

Down my street, away with me

Instead of looking soft and far away

Come on why don't you learn to live a little

Dangerous

Chorus:

Hey angel what you trying to be

Hey angel what's the tragedy

What you drinking

A Nappa Valley white

Well it's a Tanqueray and Kamikaze night

That's right

Why don't you climb on and ride

Bridge: (A,E,Bm)

Ride little baby, alright

It's gettin' late

It's gettin' late

It's gettin' late baby

Chorus:

Hey angel what you trying to be

Hey angel what's the tragedy

What you drinking

Just trying to be polite

Well it's a Tanqueray and Kamikaze night

Last call to climb on and ride

Take a chance... ...on some late night romance
