Cowboy Junkies – Angel Mine (Guitar)

   C                               Am   
He searched for those wings that he knew

                      Em  
that this angel should have at her back.

   F  
And although he can't find them

  C  
he really don't mind 

          G 
because he knows they'll grow back. 

   C                               Am   
And he reached for that halo that he knows

                     Em  
that she had when she first caught his eye.

            F  
Although his hand came back empty

     C  
he's really not worried 

          G 
because he knows it still shines. 

 F                          G 
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 

  C                   G    F  
or keep this tarnished halo shined 

        F                 G  
but I'll never betray your trust 

     C  
angel mine.

   C                        Am   
I search all the time on the ground 

               Em  
for our shadows cast side by side.

 F                       C 
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy

          G 
that you exist and are mine

      C                        Am   
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real  

       Em  
as that smile in your eyes.

 F                                 C 
But I  F  have to keep touching and smelling 

                G 
and tasting for fear it's all lies. 

 F                          G 
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 

  C                   G    F  
or keep this tarnished halo shined 

        F                 G  
but I'll never betray your trust 

     C  
angel mine.

 C                            Am   
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps

          Em  
with your voice in my head.

            F  
And I could tell by your breathing

     C  
that you were still sleeping 

    G 
I re-peated the words that you had said. 

 F                          G 
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 

  C                   G    F  
or keep this tarnished halo shined 

        F                 G  
but I'll never betray your trust 

     C  
angel mine.

 F                          G 
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 

  C                   G    F  
or keep this tarnished halo shined 

        F                 G  
but I'll never betray your trust 

     C  
angel mine.
