Em                     G 
An angelface smiles to me 
        D                Em 
Under a headline of tragedy 
Em                         G  D 
That smile used to give me warmth 
Em                     G 
Farewell - no words to say 
           D             Em 
beside the cross on your grave  
                          G   D 
and those forever burning candles 
 
 
Em         C 
Needed elsewhere 
   G                Am               Em 
to remind us of the shortness of our time 
               C     G 
Tears laid for them 
         Am             F 
Tears of love, tears of fear 
C               G  
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows 
Am       F 
Oh, Lord why 
    C           G 
the angels fall first 
 
 
Em                         G       D 
Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La 
Em                 G          A 
Nor enlightened by lessons of Christ 
Em                        G               D 
I?ll never understand the meaning of the right 
Em                 G        A 
Ignorance lead me into the light 
 
 
Em         C 
Needed elsewhere 
   G                Am               Em 
to remind us of the shortness of our time 
               C     G 
Tears laid for them 
         Am             F 
Tears of love, tears of fear 
C               G  
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows 
Am       F 
Oh, Lord why 
    C           G 
the angels fall first 
 
 
Am 
Sing me a song 
        Dm 
of your beauty 
        Am 
of your kingdom 
                            Dm 
Let the melodies of your harps 
                     Am 
caress those whom we still need 
                      Dm 
Yesterday we shook hands 
   Am 
My friend 
                  Dm 
Today a moonbeam lightens my path 
   Am 
My guardian
