Here it is! One of the coolest songs of all time!
"ANGELS AMONG US"
by Becky Hobbs and Don Goodman
performed by none other than ALABAMA
4/4 time; I play with the capo at the first fret, so it'll be in the right
key. So if you want it to be in the correct key (Ab), either do that or
don't use a capo and play all chords 1/2 step up from how they are written
here.
G D/F# |C(add D) |G Bm7 |C (add D) D7 |
verse 1
Chorus:
spoken:
GI was walkin' D/F#home from school [Em7]on A [C (add D)] cold winter day, [G]took A short cut [Em7]through the [C (add D)]woods and I Dlost my way. GIt was gettin' D/F#late, Em7and I was [C (add D)]scared and alone. GThen a kind old Fm7man took my [C (add D)hand, and led [D]me home.sung:
[C (add D)]mama couldn't see Bm7him, but [C (add D)]he was standing D7there, and [C (add D)]I knew in my G/Bheart he was the [C (add D)]answer to my D7prayer.Oh, [G add A]I be-Em7lieve there are Am7Angels A-D7mong Us,
[G add A]sent down Em7to us from [C add D]somewhere up above.
D7They come to [G add A]you and Em7me in Cour darkest hoursD7
to [C add D]show us how to Bm7live
to [C add D]teach us how to D7 give
to [C add D]guide us with a D7light of Glove.
G Bm7 |C add D D7 |
Verse 2
When life held troubled times
and had me down on my knees
there's always been someone
to come along and comfort me
a kind word from a stranger
to lend a helping hand
a phone call from a friend
just to say I understand
Now ain't it kind of funny
at the dark end of the road
someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.
repeat Chorus
Bridge:
[C add D]They wear so Bm7many faces,
[C add D]show up in the Bm7strangest places
and [C add D]grace us with their Bm7mercies Am7in our time of D7need.
repeat chorus
then repeat, "to guide us with a light of love"
G |C |D7 |G
y'all enjoy!
