Angel's Wings

(capo 1st fret)

INTRO: C  D  Em  Em  (srumming whole note)

Em              C
 You say you're down on your luck
D                G
 Hey baby it's a long long way up
C             G                |D Dsus2| |Dsus2 D|
 Hold back now, hold back your fears
Em              C
 You say you're really down and out
D                          G 
 And you feel like there's no way out now
C              G           |D D2| D2 D|    |G Gsus4 D4add9(3x)|Em D|
 Let it go now, let go your tears      some more

 G                       G
 How many times have you asked yourself
    G                            Em        D    
 Is this a hand of fate now that I've been dealt
        G                      G
 You're so disillusioned, this can't be real
     G                       Em      D
 And you can't stand now the way you feel
 G                 G
 I don't care about what they say
 G               Em       D
 I won't live or die that way
 G                            G
 Tired of figurin' out things on my own
G                        Em    D |G Gsus4 D4add9(3x)| G 
 Angel's wings won't you carry me home?

Em               C
 And when you're down on your luck
D                G
 Hey baby it's a long long way up
C              G          D Dsus2 D Dsus2 
 Hold back now, hold back your fears
Em               C
 And when you're really down and out
D                          G
 And you feel like there's no way out now
C             G             D D2| D2 D     |G Gsus4 D4add9(3x)|Em D|
 Let it go now, let go your tears      some more


  G                         G
I triumphed in the face of adversity
    G                        Em          D
And I became the man I never thought I'd be
G                              G
And now my biggest challenge a thing called love
  G                           Em         D
I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was
G                  G
 I don't care about what they say
G               Em      D
I'm gonna marry you someday

 G                            G
 Go ahead and wake up, it's a brand new day
G Gsus4 D4add9       Em   D     G Gsus4 D4add9 G Gsus4 D4add9
 Angel's wings gonna carry you away 
G Gsus4 D4add9       Em    D    G Gsus4 D4add9 G Gsus4 D4add9
 Angel's wings gonna carry me away 
G Gsus4 D4add9       G 
 Angel's wings gonna carry us

Em               C
 And when you're down on your luck
D                G
 Hey baby it's a long long way up
C              G               D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
 Hold back now, hold back your fears
Em               C
 And when you're really down and out
D                          G
 And you feel like there's no way out now
C              G            D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D      G Gsus4 Dsus4/9 G Gsus4 Dsus4/9
 Let it go now, let go your tears             some more
G Gsus4 D4add9       Em   D    G Gsus4 D4add9 G Gsus4 D4add9
 Angel's wings gonna carry you away
G Gsus4 D4add9       Em    D   G Gsus4 D4add9 G Gsus4 D4add9
 Angel's wings gonna carry me away
G Gsus4 G            Em   D    G Gsus4 D4add9 G Gsus4 D4add9 Em D G
 Angel's wings gonna carry us away
