Angels Among Us

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.

verse 1 
spoken:
(G)I was walkin' (D/F#)home from school 
(Em7)on a (Cadd9) cold winter day, 
(G)took a short cut (Em7)through the (Cadd9)woods 
and I (D)lost my way. 
(G)It was gettin' (D/F#)late, (Em7)and I was (Cadd9)scared and alone. 
(G)Then a kind old (Fm7)man took my (Cadd9)hand, and led (D)me home. 

sung:(Cadd9)mama couldn't see (Bm7)him,  
but (Cadd9)he was standing (D7)there, 
and (Cadd9)I knew in my (G/B)heart
he was the (Cadd9)answer to my (D7)prayer

[Refrão]
Oh, (Gadd9)I be-(Em7)lieve there are (Am7)Angels A-(D7)mong Us, 
(Gadd9)sent down (Em7)to us from (Cadd9)somewhere up above.   
(D7)They come to (Gadd9)you and (Em7)me in (C)our darkest hours(D7) 
to (Cadd9)show us how to (Bm7)live
to (Cadd9)teach us how to (D7) give 
to (Cadd9)guide us with a (D7)light of (G)love. 
 
(G Bm7) |(Cadd9 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: 
(Cadd9)They wear so (Bm7)many faces,  
(Cadd9)show up in the (Bm7)strangest places  
and (Cadd9)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) 
                  
y'all enjoy!
