INTRO: Em C B7 Em

#1.
Em          C              Am  D
Silence, to hear once more.....her footsteps,
         G             B7
down the shadowed corridor.
Em                 C       Am
Frightened, you're overdue..
    D                G             B7
The darkest day goes on until it's blessed by you.

CHORUS:
    C      Cm            G             F
Archangel, risin' on the Moon, just to save me from

this tomb.
C            Cm                G            F
I'll cry the tears of time all day, til she wipes
              Em
them all away.

#2.
A                     A7
Outside my window, on silver trumpets children play.
                           D
I stand here watching, the dying of an ageless day.
A                          A7
Dismiss young couples, who go home to their knowing bed,
A                             D
and watch the rooftops, where silent shadows slowly tread.

#3.
Em             C               Am           D
Sleeping their dreamless sleep......they'll never know
    G            B7
the secrets this room keeps.
Em                    C          Am
They'll wait when I'm born again..
    D                     G            B7
The rent's been paid, so, hurry, carry me away.

CHORUS:
C          Cm            G             F
Archangel, risin' on the Moon, just to save me from

this tomb.
C            Cm                G            F
I'll cry the tears of time all day, til she wipes
              Em
them all away.
