Angels Fall First

Tom: Em

Em                     G
An angelface smiles to me
        D                Em
Under a headline of tragedy
Em                         G  D
That smile used to give me warmth
Em                     G
Farewell - no words to say
           D             Em
beside the cross on your grave 
                          G   D
and those forever burning candles

Am - Em - Am - Em - D

Em         C
Needed elsewhere
   G                Am               Em
to remind us of the shortness of our time
               C     D
Tears laid for them
         Am             F
Tears of love, tears of fear
C               G 
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Am       F
Oh, Lord why
    C           G
the angels fall first

Em                         G       D
Not relieved by thougts of Shangri-La
Em                 G          D
Nor enlightened by lessons of Christ
Em                        G               D
I´ll never understand the meaning of the right
Em                 G        D
Ignorance lead me into the light

Am - Em - Am - Em - D

Em         C
Needed elsewhere
   G                Am               Em
to remind us of the shortness of our time
               C     D
Tears laid for them
         Am             F
Tears of love, tears of fear
C               G 
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows
Am       F
Oh, Lord why
    C           G
the angels fall first

Sing me a song
        Dm
of your beauty
        Am
of your kingdom
                            Dm
Let the melodies of your harps
                     Am
caress those whom we still need
                      Dm
Yesterday we shook hands
   Am
My friend
                  Dm
Today a moonbeam lightens my path
   Am
My guardian
