SENDING ME ANGELS

Intro:   C   F   C   Am   G   C
         
         C                  G
I walked down to the river.    Stood on the shore.
C                                F
   Seems like the devil's always tryin' to get in my door.
C                                 G
   Just when I thought I couldn't take any more
        F              C
here he comes again my friend.

         Am         C      F            C
He keeps sending me angels   from up on high.
         Am         Dm C       F           C
He keeps sending me an-gels to teach me to fly.
         Am         C      F           C
He keeps sending me angels   sweet and true.
         Am         Dm C    F    G    C          F   C   Am   G
He keeps sending me an-gels just like you.

     C                      G
As I stand on this mountain   face to the wind
C                          F
   amazed at the number of times we've all sinned
C                             G
   and countless enemies that should've been friends
    F           C
O O Oh, here he comes again

         Am         C       F                   C
He keeps sending me angels.    Here they come a flyin'
         Am         Dm C       F            C
He keeps sending me an-gels to keep me from cryin'
         Am         C         F          C
He keeps sending me angels so I won't be blue.
         Am         Dm C    F    G    C
He keeps sending me an-gels just like you.

Interlude:   C  G  G  G  G  F
     
     C                     G
Some say that it's comin'.   I say it's already here.
C                                       F
   The love that's among us through the joy and the fear.
       C                       G
When I look in your eyes, everything is so clear.
   F               C
My friend, here he comes again

         Am         C      F            C
He keeps sending me angels   from up on high.
         Am         Dm C       F           C
He keeps sending me an-gels to teach me to fly.
         Am         C      F           C
He keeps sending me angels   sweet and true.
         Am         Dm C    F    G
He keeps sending me an-gels just like
Am                           C
Sending me angels from up on high
         Am         Dm C       F           C
He keeps sending me an-gels to teach me to fly
         Am         C      F           C
He keeps sending me angels   sweet and true

SENDING ME ANGELS

A                           E
I walked down to the river, stood on the shore
A                                       D
Seems like the devil's always tryin' to get in my door
     A                              E
And just when I thought I couldn't take any more
         D              A (bar chord this A)
Here he came again, my friend


Chorus:
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D        A
He keeps sending me angels from on high
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D              A
He keeps sending me angels to teach me to fly
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D           A
He keeps sending me angels, sweet and true
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D     E    A
He keeps sending me angels just like you


As I stand on this mountain, face to the wind
Amazed by the number of times I have sinned
And the countless enemies that should have been friends
Oh, here he comes again, my friend

Chorus:

Instrumental Bridge (same chords as chorus)


Some say that it's coming, I say it's already here
The love that's among us through the joy and the fear
When I look in your eyes everything is so clear
My friend, here he comes again
