There's No Wings On My Angel

• D

There's No Wings On My Angel
Recorded by Eddy Arnold          
Written by Cy Coben, Irving Melsher,  Eddy Arnold
This hit #6 on Country Chart in 1949

Played in D to match youtube video (no capo needed.)
I have to transpose to G for my personal vocal ability.

Special note; take note of the especially 'high' vocal parts
that Eddy adds to parts of the song.

Instrumental lead-in basically first two lines of song.


D          D7    G                 D              A7      D   
There's no wings on my angel cause she's not from heaven above
   D  D7 G               D               A7         D   D7
No ha-lo on my angel but she's still the one that I love
  G                      D
I know that she flirts I know she's untrue
    A          E7     A    A7    
But I love her so  so what can I do
        D  D7    G               D           A7          D
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me

Instrumental, several verses (three or four?) played with great
style.
 
D          D7    G               D        A7           D   
There's no wings on my angel the devil is there in her eyes
   D    D7    G                 D          A7           D   D7
No gold crown on my angel she's fooling no one with her lies
  G                      D
I know love is blind but still I can see
     A           E7        A     A7    
That my love for her means sweet misery
        D  D7    G               D              A7       D
There's no wings on my angel but she's still an angel to me

End.
