[Intro]
C
[Verse]
CHe had a vision of Anne Marie
With a Frosary in her Chand
So, it's Fexit the rainCmaker
The old Fgrey flannel Gman
With a Ccloset full of business suits
He left a Fletter near the Cphone
It said, "I'm Fon my way to Dmparadise
To see the Bbangel of Lyon"G
[Verse]
And then he Ccaught the train to Brussels
He ordered Fcognac and croisCsants
FHe made a mental Clist
Of things he Fowned but didn't Gwant
All the Cbuildings, all the real estate
The Fantique glass and Cstone
FHe'd trade a vow of Dmpoverty
To see the Bbangel of Lyon G
[Chorus]
And he Amsang Ave MaEmria
Or at Fleast the parts he Cknew Am
And watched the shadow Emof the train
On the Ftowns that they rolled Gthrough Am
And he closed his eyes and he Emsaw two rivers
The FRhone and the CSaône Am
The male and female spirit of
The BbCity of Lyon G
[Verse]
Then he Cwaited on the bridge
Where they'd Fmet the year beCfore
But the Fdays turned into Cweeks
And then the Fseasons numbered Gfour
And his Cclothes grew worn and ragged
As Fthrough that town he Croamed
Searching Fevery open Dmwindow
For the Bbangel of Lyon G
[Chorus]
And he Amsang Ave MaEmria
Or at Fleast the parts he Cknew Am
And watched his shadow Emon the walls
Of the Fstreets that he walked Gthrough Am
And he crossed those holy Emrivers
The FRhone and the CSaône Am
They'd not give up the secret of
The Bbangel of LyonG
[Instrumental]
C F C F C F C F
[Verse]
There's a Cthousand candles burning
In the baFsilica toCnight F
Where sister Eve MaCria
Is the Fkeeper of the Glight
And Cdown the dream of the alleyways
Walks a Fsaint of rag and Cbone F
The madman torn aDmsunder
By the Bbangel of Lyon G
[Chorus]
And he Amsang Ave MaEmria
Or at Fleast the parts he Cknew Am
And watched his shadow Emon the walls
Of the Fstreets that he crawled Gthrough Am
And he crossed those holy Emrivers
The FRhone and the CSaône Am
They'd not give up the secret of
The Bbangel of LyonG
