ANGELS AMONG US


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
{spoken:}
[G]I 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 [D]lost my way.
[G]It was gettin' [D/F#]late, [Em7]and I was [C (add D)]scared and alone.
[G]Then a kind old [Fm7]man took my [C (add D)hand, and led [D]me home.
{sung:}[C (add D)]mama couldn't see [Bm7]him, 
but [C (add D)]he was standing [D7]there,
and [C (add D)]I knew in my [G/B]heart 
he was the [C (add D)]answer to my [D7]prayer.

Chorus:
Oh, [G add A]I be-[Em7]lieve there are [Am7]Angels A-[D7]mong Us,
[G add A]sent down [Em7]to us from [C add D]somewhere up above.  
[D7]They come to [G add A]you and [Em7]me in [C]our darkest hours[D7]
to [C add D]show us how to [Bm7]live
to [C add D]teach us how to [D7] give
to [C add D]guide us with a [D7]light of [G]love.

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 lights the way with just a single ray of hope.

repeat Chorus

Bridge:
[C add D]They wear so [Bm7]many faces, 
[C add D]show up in the [Bm7]strangest places 
and [C add D]grace us with their [Bm7]mercies [Am7]in our time of [D7]need.

repeat chorus

then repeat, "to guide us with a light of love"
 
G   |C   |D7   |G
