• Song:

    Damsel Fair And Your Angel

  • Artist:

    Michael Yonkers

Two songs on one track the first track off of Michael Yonkers's second album
Grimwood recorded in 1969 but only released posthumously in the early 70's
The first one is a short little one. These are beautiful songs and I'm glad
I interpreted them for you all to play.

Am (x4)

Am     D        F      Am
I wish I knew a damsel fair
Am     G              D Am
that I could have for me
C     G       F         Am
and I request that when I die
Cm        D  Dm     Am
you throw me to the sea
C            G      D  Am
you throw me to the sea

I was told that an angel came
A            Dbm       G
the night of your birthday
              Bm     G  Bm
And took your pain

Abm       Dbm     G       Bm
And I was told to talk to you
A           Dbm
and ask you vaguely
G          Bm
how did he look

A        Dbm         Abm     D
Did your angel have sea blue eyes
A        Dbm         G     D
Did your angel bring sunny skies
A        Dbm         G     D
did your angel have a long white gown

did your angel know a girl in town

G             Bbm         A         Dbm
that he would see when he left your place
G            Bm           D
did she have a lonely face


A         Dbm        G          Bm
does your angel have night blue eyes

does your angel bring rainy skies

does your angel wear a long black robe

is your angel the only one

A        Dbm        Ab  G   D
to blame if you are not his friend
you once said that you'd love him
till the end
A       Dbm         G         D
and the end has not yet started yet
so take your angel
and be his friend
and if you reach him
then you can tell me how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
I came to ask vaguely how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
I came to ask you how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
how'd he look
how he looks
