She came to me shortly after Christmas 
F              G7                 C 
Said she hated sport & New Year's Eve 
        C                             D 
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season 
  F           G7               C 
&Amp; what we had feared was now believed 
                                 D 
She said she'd leave come Monday mornin' 
F             G7               C 
Catch a plane if I'd split the fare 
                                     D 
She said she had friends in New York City 
      F              G7            C 
She'd look them up & have the baby there 

    F                           C 
And now she's alone in New York City 
F                         C 
Livin' like Lord I wonder how 
   Am                        D 
An angel in hell in New York City 
F       G7               C 
I can't think about that now

Honey, will you tell him Bible stories 
  G                A7           D 
&Amp; give him all the love I never could? 
                                      E 
But never tell him too much about his daddy 
       G           A7                 D 
'Cause there's not much to say that's good 
                                    E 
He'll have to learn it all from his mother 
G              A7        D 
How to count & say his ABC's 
                                       E 
&Amp; when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime 
G                    A7                D 
Leave out "God bless daddy," won't you please? 

    G                             D 
And now they're alone in New York City 
G                         D 
Livin' like Lord I wonder how 
  Bm                         E 
2 angels in hell in New York City 
G       A7               D 
I can't think about that now 
G       A7               D   
I can't think about that now
