(intro) B5

B5            F#5    B5
Well it rained last night
        G5     C5     G5
and the stars shone bright
             D5
and way off yonder
   A5         F#5     B5         A5
we heard the whippoorwill.

       B5    F#5       B5
At the first light of dawn
   G5          C5      G5
we heard that he was gone.
                D5
Our hearts was empty
    A5        F#5        B5     A5
and our eyes was filled.

D5  G5    D5
Open the gates
B5      F#5  B5
welcome him in.
          G5         D5         A5
There's a brand new angel,
A5                           D5      G5  D5
a brand new angel with old idea.

B5       F#5  B5
In music we heard
        G5     C5     G5
all the songs of the birds.
                 D5
And he said that some songs
   A5    F#5       B5         A5
is like clear fall days.

B5               F#5     B5
But he played his last refrain
       G5       C5     G5
Oh but the song will remain.
                       D5
Though he's put his bow down
    A5      F#5  B5       A5
And closed his case.

D5  G5    D5
Open the gates
B5    F#5   B5
welcome him in.
          G5         D5         A5
There's a brand new angel,
A5                           D5      G5  D5
a brand new angel with old violin.
