Angie Baby

KEY OF Dm BELOW

Angie Baby - Helen Reddy   ('Free And Easy' 1974)
 
[Intro] | [Am7] | [Am7] |
 
[Verse]
You [Am7] live your life in the songs you hear on the rock & roll radio
And [Am7] when a young girl doesn't have any friends, 
that's a really nice place to go,
[Dm7] Folks hoping you'd [G7] turn out cool,  
[CMAJ7] but they had to take you [FMAJ7] out of school
You're a [E7] little touched, you [E7] know, Angie [Am7] baby
 
[Verse 2]
[Am7] Lovers appear in your room each night and they whirl you across the floor,
But they [Am7] always seem to fade away 
when your Daddy taps on your door,
[Dm7] "Angie, girl, are [G7] you alright? 
[CMAJ7] Tell the radio [FMAJ7] goodnight"
[E7] All alone once [E7] again, Angie [Am7] baby
 
{ CHORUS }
[Dm7] Angie [CMAJ7] baby,   you're a spe-[Dm7]-cial [CMAJ7] lady,
[FMAJ7] Living in a [G] world of [FMAJ7] make  believe,
Well, [Am7] maybe
 
[Verse 3]
[Am7] Stopping at her house is a [Am7] neighbour boy 
with evil on his mind,
'Cause [Am7] he's been peeking in Angie's room 
at night through her window blind,
[Dm7]  "I see your folks have [G7] gone away. 
[CMAJ7] Would you dance with [FMAJ7] me today?
I'll [E7] show you how to have a good [E7] time, 
Angie [Am7] baby  (A-a-a-ngie baby,  A-a-a-ngie baby)
 
[Am7]
[Bridge]
When he [Am7] walks in her room, [N.C.] he feels confused, 
like he walked into a play
And the [Am7] music's so loud, it spins him around 
til his soul has lost its way [Am7] [Bm7] 
[C] And as she turns the volume down, [C#] 
[D] He's getting smaller with the sound, [E] 
[F] It seems to pull him off the ground,[F#] 
[G] Toward the radio he's bound, [A] never to be found......
 
| [Am7] | [Am7] |

[Verse 4]
The [Am7] headlines read that a boy disappeared, 
and everyone thinks he died,
'Cept a [Am7] crazy girl with a [Am7] secret lover 
who keeps her satisfied
[Dm7] It's so nice to [G] be insane, [CMAJ7] no one asks you [FMAJ7] to explain
[E7] Radio by your [E7] side, Angie [Am7] baby
 
{ CHORUS }
Well, [Am7] maybe
Well, [Am7] maybe (A-a-a-ngie baby,   A-a-a-ngie baby)
Well, [Am7] maybe (A-a-a-ngie baby,   A-a-a-ngie baby)
      [Am7]       (A-a-a-ngie baby,   A-a-a-ngie baby)     (fade)
