intro
SOL SOL FA FA
She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast moving train
SOL SOL FA FA
Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain
MIm MIm LA7 LA7
Seemed like a good time at the time, rolling down that track
MIm MIm LA7 LA7
Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back
RE SIm RE SIm
SheUs a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
RE SIm SOL SIm
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired
RE SIm RE SIm
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
RE SIm SOL LA
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
SOL SOL FA FA
Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh
SOL SOL FA FA
[instrumental; see tab at end for one riff]
She's so very hungry for a piece of Mama's pie
Served up on Grandma's china after church on Sunday night
Oh, now Papa's probably turning out the lights and heading up the stairs
And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers
She's a homeward looking angel and she must be feeling mighty tired
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
DO RE SOL LA LA
Oh, yeah... [instrumental]
FA FA
There's a road ahead and a road behind
SOL LA LA
All roads lead to home this time
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired
And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh
Homeward looking angel
[instrumental & ad lib vocals; repeat and fade on G G F F etc.]

(This is the low riff that's played after the first chorus and in the
fade-out.)
