[Verse 1]
       C        F
As the cafe was closing
                 G
On a warm summer night
    F         G            C
And Cathy was cleaning the spoons
    F                C
The radio played the hit parade
D                           G
And I hummed along with the tune
    F             G         C
She asked me to change the station
         F                     G
Said the song just drove her insane
       C                      F
But it weren't just the music playing
       G                    C
It was me she was trying to blame
 
 
[Chorus]
        F                C
And the sky is black and still now
       F                     G
On the hill where the angels sing
         F                       C
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
      C           G       C
Looks just like a diamond ring
         F    G        C
But it's far, far from me
 
 
[Verse 2]
        C            F
Well, I leaned on my left leg
                   G
In the parking lot dirt
    F         G           C
And Cathy was closing the lights
  F                      C
A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew
    D                           G
And I wished for once I weren't right
    F           G      C
Why we used to laugh together
         F                G
And we'd dance to any old song
         C                     F
Well, ya know she still laughs with me
        G                       C
But she waits just a second too long
 
 
[Chorus]
        F                C
And the sky is black and still now
       F                     G
On the hill where the angels sing
         F                       C
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
      C           G       C
Looks just like a diamond ring
         F    G        C
But it's far, far from me
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C           F
Well, I started the engine
                   G
And I gave it some gas
    F         G           C
And Cathy was closing her purse
         F                     C
Well, we hadn't gone far in my beatup old car
    D                      G
And I was prepared for the worst
F              G           C
Will you still see me tomorrow?
F                     G
No, I got too much to do
        C                          F
Well, a question ain't really a question
       G                C
If you know the answer too
 
 
[Chorus]
        F                C
And the sky is black and still now
       F                     G
On the hill where the angels sing
         F                       C
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
      C           G       C
Looks just like a diamond ring
         F    G        C
But it's far, far from me
