[Chorus]
She ain't on
the left
She ain't on
the right
Did she hang
up
 her halo
Or take off
the
 night?
Did she fly
away?
Is she good as
gone?
Hell, what
shoulder's
         D
my angel on?

[Verse 1]
D
That whiskey
bottle's
 whispering
D
Girl it ain't time
to go home yet
D
There is a heartbreak
 waiting to happen
D
And he just lit up
my cigarette
        G
I ain't hearing, that
 voice of reason
           D
Talking me out of
D
Trouble I shouldn't
 be in

[Chorus]
    D
She ain't on the left
    G
She ain't on the right
        D
Did she hang up her halo
   A
Or take off the night?
        D
Did she fly away?
       G
Is she good as gone?
Bm         A
Hell, what shoulder's
   D
my angel on?
Right when I
need her
  G
advice the most
D
Swear she's on
break
    A
out back with a
 smoke
D
Must be tired of
telling
 G
 me I'm wrong
Bm         A
Hell, what shoulder's
   D
my angel on?

I can't say that
she didn't try
D
She finally gave up
on a hell bent rebel
D
Guess I really did
it this time

'Cause she left
 me here
G
To dance with the
 devil

left

Most of the song cycles through A – D – G – Bm (V – I – IV – vi in D major). In solfa, that is soh – doh – fah – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
