Verse 2. (Use above Am7, Am6, D/A, D? rhythm pattern)

Goodbye little angel  its so hard to understand
What makes somebody do that what makes that kind of man
But now your gone     and things will never be the same

(Use similar Dm, C/D, G rhythm)

G                              Dm...
I feel your tears when it rains
and though I try I an't explain
Where's the sense in it ..

Verse 3 lyrics

Goodbye little angel so young and so sweet
So long little angel Taken so young from the street
Now your gone  And things will never be the same
I feel your tears when it rains
And though I can't explain Where's the sense in it all

Extra lyrics

How could anybody do it Theres no rhyme or reason to its so sad
But it happened in this town
There's no words of consolation there's no reasoned explanation
just the fact that it happened in this town.
