ANGIE BABY
By Alan O’Day
Key:Bb

You live your life in the songs you hear
-5   -6   7    7   -5 -5   -6    7   7
on the rock and roll ra-di-  o
-5 -5    7   7   -6  -5 -3* 4-3*
and when a young girl 
-5   -6 -6   7    7
does-n't have an-y friends
-5    -5  -6  7  7   7  
that’s a real-ly nice place to  go
-5    -5  7    7  -6   -5  -3* 4-3*3 
folks hop-in’ you'd turn out cool
7      7  -6   -5    -6   -6  7
but they had to take you out of school
-5   -6  -6  -5  -6  -5  -6  7   -3*
you're a lit-tle touched you know
3      3  3   -5   -5     5   -5
Ang-ie ba-by
-3*  4 3  3  
lov-ers ap-pear in your room each night
-6  -6  7   7   -5  -5   -6   7     7
and they whirl you ‘cross the floor
-5   -5    7   -6    -5   -3* 4 -3*
but they al-ways seem to fade a-way
-5   -5  -6  7    7   -5  -6  7  7 
when your dad-dy taps on your door
-5    -5   7  7   -6  -5  -3* 4-3*3
An-gie girl are you al-right?
7   -6  7    -5 -6  -6   7
tell the ra-di- o good-night
-5   -6  -6 -6 -6  7    -3*
all a-lone once more An-gie ba-by
3   -5 -5   5   -5 5 -3* 4   3  3

Chorus
An- gie ba-by
7-6 -6  5  -5
you're a spec-ial la-dy
3      -2  7   -6  5 -5
liv-ing in a world of make be-lieve
7    7  7  7   -7  -7 -7   -7* -7*
well may- be
5    5-3* 3 


Stop-pin’ at her house 
-6    7   7   -6   7
is a neigh-bor boy
-5 -5 -6    7   7
with e-vil on his mind
-5   7  -6 -5 -3* 4-3*
’cause he's been peek-in’ in An-gie's room
-5     -6     7   7   -6  -5 -6  7     7
at night through her win-dow blind
-5   7      -6   -6   -5 -3* 4-3*3
I see your folks have gone a-way
3  7   7     7    -5   -6  -6 7
would you dance with me to-day
-5    -6    -6   -5  -6  7 -3*
I'll show you how to have a good time
-3*   -5   5  -5   5  -5  5  -5  -5 5
An-gie ba- by
-3* 4 -3*3 3

when he walks in her room
-5   -5  -6   7  -6   7   
he feels con-fused
-5  -6    7    7
like he walked in-to  a  play
-5   -5   7    -6 -5 -3* 4-3*
and the mus-ic's so loud
-5  -5   -6  -6  7    7
it spins him a-round
-5   -6   7  7   7
till his soul has lost it's  way
-5   -5    7  -6   -5  -3*  4-3*3
and as she turns the vol-ume down
-5  7  -6    7   -6  -7*  7   7
he's get-ting small-er with the sound
-6    7   -6   7    -6  7    -6  7
it seems to pull him off the ground
-6   7   -6  7   -6   7  -6   7
toward the ra-di-o he's bound
7      -6  7  -6 7  -6    7
nev-er to be found
-6  7  7  -6  7
the head-lines read that a boy dis-a-peared
-5   -6   7      7   -5  -5 -6  7  7   7 
and ev-‘ry-one thinks he died
-5  7   7  -6   -5   -3* 4-3*
‘cept a craz-y girl with a sec-ret lov-er
 -5  -5  -6 -6  7    -5  -5 -6  7   7 -6
who keeps her sat-is- fied
-5   7    -6  -5 -3* 4-3*3
it's so nice to be in-sane
7    -6  7   -5 -6 -6  7
no one asks you to ex-plain
-5 -6   -6  -6  -6 7   -3*
ra-di-o by your side
3  -5-5 -5  -5* -5 5
An-gie ba-  by
-3* 4  -3*3 3

Chorus
An- gie ba-by
7-6 -6  5  -5
you're a spec-ial la-dy
3      -2  7   -6  5 -5
liv-ing in a world of make be-lieve
7    7  7  7   -7  -7 -7   -7* -7*
well may- be
5    5-3* 3 
well may- be
5    5-3* 3 
well may- be
5    5-3* 3 
well may- be
5    5-3* 3
