Jim Reeves - The Gods Were Angry With Me

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G D7 G

[Chorus]
G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you
C G C
The Gods were angry with me, because they knew
F#7 G E
I stood at heaven’s portal and that was too high
A7 D7
For any mortal, such as I

[Verse]
G
So they took down the sun, the skies were gray
C
Then the howlin’ winds, took you away
F#7 G
And there was nothing I could do, because I knew (nothing I could do)
D7 G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you

(Parlando)
G C
Once upon a time when our love was new and I was happy, with the love that I’ve found
C
Then the Gods and the sun and the moon and the stars, looked down and saw me there with you
F#7 G D7 G
And they sent my dream world crash into the ground (it was because the Gods were angry with me)

[Chorus]
G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you
C G C
The Gods were angry with me, because they knew
F#7 G E
I stood at heaven’s portal and that was too high
A7 D7
For any mortal, such as I

[Verse]
G
So they took down the sun, the skies were gray
C
Then the howlin’ winds, took you away
F#7 G
And there was nothing I could do, because I knew (nothing I could do)
D7 G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you

[Coda]
G
(And so they took down the sun, the skies were gray)
C
(And then the howling winds took you away)

[Outro]
F#7 G
And there was nothing I could do, for I could see
F#7 D G
It was because the Gods were angry, with me
