C

They say that there’s a heaven

F

Where all good people go

C

And all the angels live there.

G

At least that’s what I’m told.

C

I know I should believe it

F

Because the Good Book never lies.

C

But there’s an angel in the hills of Tennessee

G C

And I’ve seen her with my own eyes.

CHORUS:

G

How did you know

F C

That I needed a friend?

G

I never dreamed

F C

That the minute I walked in

Am

My life would be changed

C G F

And my soul would be set free.

C F

There’s an angel in Knoxville

C

Watching over me.

C

An empty room on a Thursday night;

F

I just wanted a drink or two.

C

Then she came and sat beside me;

G

A table with a view.

C

And I could not believe it

F

When she got up to dance

C

‘Cause she spread her angel wings out

G C

And I thought she’d never land.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

G

And she flys

C

So high.

F G

My angel flys so high!

C

So I suppose that there’s a heaven

F

Where everything’s made of gold.

C

Maybe someday I’ll see it

G

When I get too old.

C

And all the angels will open their arms

F

And wings to welcome me.

C F

Except for the one still here on Earth

G C

Flying in Tennessee.

REPEAT CHORUS
