[Verse 1]
Am G
Underneath the cotton sun

The freedom we had just begun

Sweeter than the finest rum

With my Angeline

A home with every kind of tree

Built it without anything

Life is like a peach in cream

With my Angeline
[Chorus]

Angeline, oh, Angeline

[Verse 2]
Am G
That day I was walking down
Am G
The railroad tracks I heard the sound
Am G
The sheriff, he was mighty proud
C G Am
And told me I had to pay
Am G
The foreman, he had to come to find
Am G
Prison folk to work the mine
Am G
The judge was there to give me time
C G Am
Away from my Angeline
[Chorus]
C G
Angeline, oh, Angeline
Am C F C
She's the sweetest song that I could ever sing
C G
Feeling the pain
F C G Em Am G
I just want to be able to sing to her again (ba ba da da)

[Verse 3]
Am G
Seven years until I'm free
Am G
Working off this prison fee
Am G
My fingers smell like kerosene
C G Am
In a mine in Tennessee
Am G
Every day I hold my breath
Am G
Every hour I wish for death
Am G
Angeline, she's settled west
C G Am
Away from Tennessee
[Chorus]
C G
Tennessee, oh, Tennessee
Am C F C
You have the darkest veins that I had ever seen
C G
Deep in the mine
F C G Em Am G
Angeline, your memories won't let me die (ba ba da da)
