Song Words Without Chords
Angel killed Jim Glover With a bullet to the head A single shot rang out that night, Left Jimmy Glover dead She washed her hair, she swept the floor Then kissed her kids goodnight Brought herself a glass of wine Then slept until daylight Chorus And it’s easy come, easy go That’s how the story ends Rock the cradle, sing the rhyme See what tomorrow sends Jim worked in the city, An easy sort of guy Worked two jobs and paid the bills Never once asked why On Sundays brought his kids to mass Put money on the plate Drank a beer and watched the game Then went to meet his mates Chorus Life is never what it seems Or so they always say Someone always gets it wrong And goes the other way And what goes on behind closed doors Nobody ever knows One step too far, one blow too much Sometimes it’s how it goes |
