Subject: Angels Among Us

Here it is! One of the coolest songs of all time!

"ANGELS AMONG US"

by Becky Hobbs and Don Goodman

performed by none other than ALABAMA

4/4 time; I play with the capo at the first fret, so it'll be in the right

key. So if you want it to be in the correct key (Ab), either do that or

don't use a capo and play all chords 1/2 step up from how they are written

here.

G D/F# |C(add D) |G Bm7 |C (add D) D7 |

verse 1

{spoken:}

[G]I was walkin' [D/F#]home from school

[Em7]on a [C (add D)] cold winter day,

[G]took a short cut [Em7]through the [C (add D)]woods

and I [D]lost my way.

[G]It was gettin' [D/F#]late, [Em7]and I was [C (add D)]scared and alone.

[G]Then a kind old [Fm7]man took my [C (add D)hand, and led [D]me home.

{sung:}[C (add D)]mama couldn't see [Bm7]him,

but [C (add D)]he was standing [D7]there,

and [C (add D)]I knew in my [G/B]heart

he was the [C (add D)]answer to my [D7]prayer.

Chorus:

Oh, [G add A]I be-[Em7]lieve there are [Am7]Angels A-[D7]mong Us,

[G add A]sent down [Em7]to us from [C add D]somewhere up above.

[D7]They come to [G add A]you and [Em7]me in [C]our darkest hours[D7]

to [C add D]show us how to [Bm7]live

to [C add D]teach us how to [D7] give

to [C add D]guide us with a [D7]light of [G]love.

G Bm7 |C add D D7 |

Verse 2

When life held troubled times

and had me down on my knees

there's always been someone

to come along and comfort me

a kind word from a stranger

to lend a helping hand

a phone call from a friend

just to say I understand

Now ain't it kind of funny

at the dark end of the road

someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.

repeat Chorus

Bridge:

[C add D]They wear so [Bm7]many faces,

[C add D]show up in the [Bm7]strangest places

and [C add D]grace us with their [Bm7]mercies [Am7]in our time of [D7]need.

repeat chorus

then repeat, "to guide us with a light of love"

G |C |D7 |G

y'all enjoy!
