Intro: Dsus2     A      F#m    Bm      E    
 
     A                          F#m 
We'd walk up and down the Concho River 
     Bm                                    E 
We'd find a soft place to watch the sun go down 
          A                            F#m 
So was it me or was it what I could not give you 
            Bm                               E 
She left me shattered, my life scattered all around 
 
D       F#m          E             A 
She said time would heal my broken heart 
        D           A                E 
and I'd find a true companion for my soul 
                  D             E 
You know she was right, we were wrong 
       A       A/G#         F#m   
Nothing more than a pretty song 
       Dsus2            E 
About a boy who loved a girl 
          A 
In San Angelo 
 
Repeat Intro 
 
When I'd close my eyes, I could hear her singing 
In the chapel where she said we'd wed someday 
It rattled me so to hear them old church bells ringing 
Knowing well enough we'd never love that way 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
       F#m            A              D               E 
Looking back it was a blessing she broke my heart in two 
      D                E           D                  E 
But if I had never lost her, baby I'd have never found you 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
        Dsus2               E               Dsus2 
About a boy who once loved a girl in San Angelo 
 
End on Intro
