[Verse 1]


C               G                       Am
In these times each day feels like the next
    F                                   C              G
But just tonight my old friend Richard sent a tearful text
       F                G              C          F
I could feel his sorrow on the screen, wondering if I
C        G                             C        F G C G C
Heard the news tonight that John Prine died


[Verse 2]

                       G                  Am
He seemed to pluck his songs out of thin air
      F                          C               G
They told of tiny triumphs and lives filled with dispair
F                    G            C           F
Complex in their simplicity, so honest and so true
C    G         Am        F         G              C
Just what every writer wished that they could do


[Chorus]

        G                                F            C
There's an Angel from Montgomery that's finally taken wing
      G                                    F              G
And a place up there called paradise where even Sam Stone sings
            Am             G          C                    F
Where the losers, lovers, loners have gathered round the throne
     C             G                        C      F G C
In a mighty choir to welcome John Prine home


[Verse 3]

                G                        Am
I remember a night a bar in Cambridge town
        F                                     C                   G
The band took a break, we took the stage and shut the whole place down
         F                 G           C                    F
It was Stevie Goodman's birthday, just eight years since he died
                   G              C                      F
We sang drank and remembered, we laughed and then we cried
      C          G                             C
Just like tonight when I heard that John Prine died


[Chorus]

        G                                F            C
There's an Angel from Montegomery thats finally taken wing
      G                                    F              G
And a place up there called paradise where even Sam Stone sings
            Am             G          C                    F
Where the losers, lovers, loners have gatherd round the throne
     C           G                        C
In a mighty choir to welcome John Prine home


[Verse 4]

                            G                      Am
Tonight I sit here thinking bout the stories we tell
          F                             C             G
And the blessed few who really do make heaven outta hell
      F         G        C                   F
So say hello to Stevie I aint ready for ya yet
      C        G           Am    G        F        G          C
In the meantime I know you'll enjoy that nine mile cigarette


[Chorus]

        G                                F            C
There's an Angel from Montegomery thats finally taken wing
      G                                    F              G
And a place up there called paradise where even Sam Stone sings
            Am             G          C                    F
Where the losers, lovers, loners have gatherd round the throne
     C           G                        Am
In a mighty choir to welcome John Prine home

         F              G          C                  F
Oh the losers, lovers, loners have gathered round the throne
     C           G                        C     F G C
In a mighty choir to welcome John Prine home
