Tom Rush           Tin Angel   written by Joni Mitchell


G#m  F#   G#m

G#m                E
Varnished weeds in window jars
G#m                E
Tarnished beads on tapestries
G#m           E
Kept in satin boxes are
D#m                   G#m             
Reflections of love's memories
G#m                     E
Letters from across the seas
G#m             E
Roses dipped in sealing wax
G#m            E 
Valentines and maple leaves
D#m                G#m
Tucked into a paperback
E               F#      G#m
Says she throw them all away
B         F#         G#m  G#    G#m
She found someone to love today
G#m              E
Dark with darker moods is he
G#m          E
Not a golden Prince who's come
G#m                    E
Through columbines and wizardry
D#m                       G#m
To talk of castles in the sun
E                   F#         G#m 
Still she'll take a chance and say
B         F#         G#m     G#   G#m
She found someone to love today
G#m                     E
She see a sorrow in his eyes
G#m            E 
Like the angel made of tin
G#m                      E          
What might happen if she tries
D#m                       G#m
To place another heart in him
E            F#     G#m
In a Bleeker Street cafe
B         F#         G#m
She found someone to love 
B         F#         G#m
She found someone to love 
B         F#          G#m  G#        G#m
She found someone to love today
