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.

verse 1
GD/F#
I was walkin' home from school
Em7C(D)d
on a cold winter day,
GEm7C(D)d
took a short cut through the woods
D
and I lost my way.
GD/F#Em7C(D)d
It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.
GFm7C (add D)hand, and led [D
Then a kind old man took my me home.
C(D)d Bm7
mama couldn't see him,
C(D)d D7
but he was standing there,
C(D)d G/B
and I knew in my heart
C(D)d D7
he was the answer to my prayer.
Chorus:
GaAd Em7Am7D7
Oh, I be-lieve there are Angels A-mong Us,
GaAd Em7CaDd
sent down to us from somewhere up above.
D7GaAd Em7CD7
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
CaDd Bm7
to show us how to live
CaDd D7
to teach us how to give
CaDd D7G
to guide us with a light of 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:
CaDd Bm7
They wear so many faces,
CaDd Bm7
show up in the strangest places
CaDd Bm7Am7D7
and grace us with their mercies in our time of need.
repeat chorus
then repeat, "to guide us with a light of love"
