Concrete Angel
by Martina McBride
Note: This version, when played on my large ocarina, is in the same key as sung by Martina McBride. However, the note must be played flat (as my large ocarina tends to play it). The correct verion is here.


She

walks

to

school

with

a

lunch

she

packed.

No-

bod-

y

knows

what

she's

hold-

ing

back.


Wear-

ing

the

same

dress

she

wore

yes-

ter-

day,

She

hides

the

bruis-

es

with

her

lin-

en

and

lace.

(hoo-

oo)


The

teach-

er

wond-

ers

but

she

does-

n't

ask.

It's

hard

to

see

the

pain

be-

hind

the

mask.


Bear-

ing

the

bur-

den

of

a

sec-

ret-

storm,

Some

time

she

wish-

es

she

were

nev-

er

born.




Through

the

wind

and

the

rain

she

stands

hard

as

a

stone

in

a

world

that

she

can't

rise

a-

bove.


But

her

dreams

give

her

wings

and

she

flies

to

a

place

where

she's

lo-

oved.

Con-

cre-

ete

A-

an-

gel.




Some-

bod-

y

cries

in

the

mid-

dle

of

the

night.

The

neigh-

bors

hear

but

they

turn

out

the

light.


A

frag-

ile

soul

caught

in

the

hands

of

fate,

when

morn-

ing

comes

it'-

ll

be

to

late.




Through

the

wind

and

the

rain

she

stands

hard

as

a

stone

in

a

world

that

she

can't

rise

a-

bove.


But

her

dreams

give

her

wings

and

she

flies

to

a

place

where

she's

lo-

oved.

Con-

cre-

ete

A-

an-

ge-

el.




A

stat-

ue

stands

in

a

shade-

ed

place;

an

an-

gel

girl

with

an

up-

turned

face.


Her

name

is

writt-

en

on

a

pol-

ished

rock.

A

bro-

ken

heart

that

the

world

for-

got.

2004-07-17 : this sounds nothing like the song
2004-07-18 : Perhaps you are thinking of a different song? Or are not following the fingerings correctly? Other people have expressed appreciation for my transcription, so I'd assume they would have said something if it was completely wrong. It sounds fine to me. :)
