Intro:  G D/F#   C(9)    G Bm7   C(9) D7
 Spoken:
  G             D/F# 
 I was walkin' home from school
  Em7   C(9) 
 On a cold winter day,
  G                Em7        C(9) 
 Took a short cut through the woods
       D  
 And I lost my way.
  G             D/F#    Em7      C(9) 
 It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.
  G               Fm7       C(9)       D 
 Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home.

 Sung:
  C(9)         Bm7 
 Mama couldn't see him , 
      C(9)       D7 
 But he was standing there,
      C(9)    G/B 
 And I knew in my heart 
             C(9)     D7 
 He was the answer to my prayer.

 Chorus:
   G9         Em7             Am7    D7  
 Oh, I be  -  lieve there are Angels Among Us,
  G9        Em7       C9 
 Sent down to us from somewhere up above. 
  D7          G9      Em7   C              D7 
 They come to you and me in our darkest hours
     C9          Bm7  
 To show us how to live
     C9           D7  
 To teach us how to give
     C9           D7       G  
 To guide us with a light of love.

 Instrumental:  
G Bm7   C9    D7 

  G             D/F# 
 When life held troubled times
  Em7   C(9) 
 And had me down on my knees
  G          Em7        C(9) 
 There's always been someone 
       D  
 To come along and comfort me
  G             D/F#    Em7      C(9) 
 A kind word from a stranger To lend a helping hand
  G               Fm7       C(9)       D 
 A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
  C(9)         Bm7 
 Now ain't it kind of funny 
      C(9)       D7 
 At the dark end of the road
      C(9)    G/B             C(9)     D7 
 Someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.

 **Chorus

 Bridge:
  C9         Bm7  
 They wear so many faces, 
  C9           Bm7 
 Show up in the strangest places
      C9                Bm7     Am7           D7  
 And grace us with their mercies in our time of need.

 **Chorus


     C9            D7       G  
 To guide us with a light of love.
 G    C    D7    G
