Angel
=====

Written by Simon Friend of the Levellers.  Appears on the "One Way"
re-released CD#2.  At the time of writing this is still available
from the official website (see Links), and I'd recommend it.

Transcribed by Alan Bigham, 1/1/00.

This does sound better on a piano, but it's still okay on the guitar.
I've used C (x32010) and Cadd9 (x32033).  See what's best for you.


INTRO

VERSE I
        G  D          C                                G      D
 When I dr-e-am I get pictures of the world I've never seen
     C                                G D
 I'm playing parts up on the silver screen
     C                              G   D
 I'm anything my dream wants me to be
     C              D                  G   D   C       G   D   Cadd9
 The picture always ends with you and me 

VERSE II
         G D              C                                 G       D
 The are t-i-mes that you need to look a little deeper down inside
     C                                        G  D
 And you mightn't always like the things you fi---nd
     C                                  G   D
 And you may find you're running out of time
         C               D                G
 But the truth is always there for you to find 


CHORUS I
            D     C              G
 There's an angel, watching over me
           D       Cadd9
 We've got angels
                            Em
 The candle burns and I can see
            D     C              G    D   C
 There's an angel, watching over me 


BRIDGE
Em                   G
 When the nightmares come
Em                  G
 When the hounds of hell surround me
Em                   G
 When the fear comes on
         D              C
 Let the devil send his dogs to find me 
Em                  G
 Let the nightmares come
Em                 G
 Let the hounds of hell surround me
Em                 G
 Let the fear come on
         D              C
 Let the devil send his dogs to find me

CHORUS II
            D     C              G
 There's an angel, watching over me
           D       Cadd9
 We've got angels
                            G
 The candle burns and I can see
            D     C              G
 There's an angel, watching over me 
            D     C
 There's an angel
                            Em  D    C
 The candle burns and I can see ......
               G    D   C
 Watching over me
                  G   D   C
 Watching you and me
G                 D                 Cadd9
 There's an angel there for you and me
