C D
She came to me shortly after Christmas
F G7 C
Said she hated sport & New Year's Eve
C D
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
F G7 C
& what we had feared was now believed
D
She said she'd leave come Monday mornin'
F G7 C
Catch a plane if I'd split the fare
D
She said she had friends in New York City
F G7 C
She'd look them up & have the baby there
F C
And now she's alone in New York City
F C
Livin' like Lord I wonder how
Am D
An angel in hell in New York City
F G7 C
I can't think about that now
D E
Honey, will you tell him Bible stories
G A7 D
& give him all the love I never could?
E
But never tell him too much about his daddy
G A7 D
'Cause there's not much to say that's good
E
He'll have to learn it all from his mother
G A7 D
How to count & say his ABC's
E
& when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime
G A7 D
Leave out "God bless daddy," won't you please?
G D
And now they're alone in New York City
G D
Livin' like Lord I wonder how
Bm E
2 angels in hell in New York City
G A7 D
I can't think about that now
G A7 D
I can't think about that now
