The basis of this song is an E-chord with a weird variation though:

Emaj7+1(?)
There are no angels left in america anymore
E
they are left after the second world war heading west
Emaj7+1(?)
stopping briefly in japan during the 60’s
E
then in tianamen square during the last decade
Emaj7+1(?) E
they kept heading west to who knows where
Emaj7+1(?)
what’re they after?
E
what’re they looking for?
Emaj7+1(?)
a messiah who never comes?
E
a virgin birth?
Emaj7+1(?)
a perfect drunk?
E
a sign, any kind of sign
Emaj7+1(?) E
anything that looks slightly out of the ordinary
Emaj7

Emaj7
flying over fields and factories
E
momma’s going off her head
Emaj7
daddy’s bringing home the bacon
E
open up the pearly gates
Emaj7
fruit of salty lubrication
E
tangled up in arms and legs
Emaj7
i can barely touch the bottom
E
now i’m working up a sweat!
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now-
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now-
Emaj7+1(?)
i can barely touch my own self
E
how could i touch someone else?
Emaj7+1(?)
i am just an advertisement
E
for a version of myself
Emaj7+1(?)
like molecules in constant motion
E
like a million nervous tics
Emaj7+1(?)
i am quivering with anticipation
E
like the sunlight on their wings
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now- (don’t look now)
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now- (i’m ready for this)
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now

Em+9 E
the sensuous world - the smell of the sea
Em+9 E
the sweat off their wings - the fruit from the trees
Em+9 E
the angel inside - will meet me tonight
Em+9 E
on wings of desire - i come back alive

Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready-
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready- (i put the dogs outside)
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready-
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready- (no one take that ride)
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now -
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now - (to take that wine)
Emaj7+1(?) E
i’m ready now - but where are you?
