Words & Music by Shelby Flint
Recorded by Shelby Flint, 1960 (#22)


A7     G     A7      D     G/B    D
Got an angel on my shoul - der

       G/B        D     G/B   D
Got a penny in my poc - ket

       G/B               A7   Em7    A7 
And I found a four leaf clo - ver

      Em7    A7    D     G/B  D
And I put it in my loc - ket

A7        G       A7      D   G/B   D
Wished on all the stars above me

      G/B                 D  G/B  D
And I caught the nearest rainbow

      G/B              A7  Em7  A7
Gonna find someone to love me

       Em7      A7    D     G    D
Gonna find someone to love


Bridge:

        D7                             G
Well I tossed a lot of nickels in the wishing well,

 Em7                   A7               G        D
And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell;

  D7                       G 
I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed,

      Em7              A7     Em7    A
But a warm and tender love is all I need.


A7     G      A7       D     G/B   D
And I want a love that lin - gers,

      G/B                     D      G/B   D
And a strong one through and through,

        G/B           A7    Em7  A7
So I'm gonna cross my fin - gers

           Em7   A7       D    F#m  Bm    Bm7
That I'll find a boy who loves me  true,

A7      Em7    A7       D   G/B     D
And I'm gonna love him too.

A7       Em7   A7       D   G/B     D
And I'm gonna love him too.
