Runaround Angel Lyrics And Chords

Runaround Angel lyrics and guitar chords. Written by Johnny McAvoy. Recorded by Thomas Doran, Tony Stevens. ​The chords are as played by Tony Stevens band. I have, over the years collected a heap of the songs by Johnny McEvoy and to this day they remain very popular.
​Intro [E][A][[E][B][E]
[E]Oh tonight all alone I'm thinking [A]of you
Once a[E]gain wondering where you [B]are
Are you [E]still singing songs as [A]you move from town to town
Still [E]hanging your [B]dreams on a [E]star.

[E]Do your fairweather friends still hang a[A]round you
And be[E]lieve in every word that you [B]say
Well I[E] tell you this my friend and I [A]don't mean to offend
But the [E]weather's going to [B]change on you some [E]day.

Chorus
[E]Run around angel wondering [A]star
Where your [E]going can't be [B]far
Living in [E]daydreams in honky tonk [A]bars
Run a[E]round angel[B] wondering [E]star.
[E][A][E][B][E]

[E]Many times in the past you came back [A]crying
And [E]promised me you'd chane your wicked [B]ways
But your [E]span of attention was [A]too short to mention
And one [E]night was [B]all you would [E]stay.

[E]In the morning I find you had left [A]me
Your [E]boots and coat were gone from off the [B]floor
Well if [E]you wan't to treat me nice then [A]take my advise
Don't come [E]knocking on my [B]window any[E]more.
Repeat chorus.

If the above chords don't suit then here's the song 
in the key of G.
Intro [G][C][G][D][G]
[G]Oh tonight all alone I'm thinking [C]of you
Once a[G]gain wondering where you [D]are
Are you [G]still singing songs as [C]you move from town to town
Still [G]hanging your [D]dreams on a [G]star.

[G]Do your fairweather friends still hang a[C]round you
And be[G]lieve in every word that you [D]say
Well I[G] tell you this my friend and I [C]don't mean to offend

Chorus
[G]Run around angel wondering [C]star
Where your [G]going can't be [D]far
Living in [G]daydreams in honky tonk [C]bars
Run a[G]round angel[D] wondering [G]star.
[G][C][G][D][G]

[G]Many times in the past you came back [C]crying
And [G]promised me you'd chane your wicked [D]ways

And one [G]night was [D]all you would [G]stay.

[G]In the morning I find you had left [C]me
Your [G]boots and coat were gone from off the [D]floor
Well if [G]you wan't to treat me nice then [C]take my advise
Don't come [G]knocking on my [D]window any[G]more.

Lyrics without the chords.
​Oh tonight all alone I'm thinking of you
Once again wondering where you are
Are you still singing songs as you move from town to town
Still hanging your dreams on a star.

Do your fair weather friends still hang around you
And believe in every word that you say
Well I tell you this my friend and I don't mean to offend
But the weather's going to change on you some day.

Chorus
Run around angel wondering star
Where your going can't be far
Living in daydreams in honky tonk bars
Run around angel wondering star.

Many times in the past you came back crying
And promised me you'd change your wicked ways
But your span of attention was too short to mention
And one night was all you would stay.

In the morning I find you had left me
Your boots and coat were gone from off the floor
Well if you wan't to treat me nice then take my advise
Don't come knocking on my window anymore.
