Douwe Bob – Angel Child (Guitar)

G
This is a story of a young prince

Em
Never got to taste the sweet things

C/G
He never got to spread his wild wings

D/A
To have a chance to fly

G
This is a story 'bout a heartache

Em
The kind that makes a father's hand shake

C/G
The kind that makes a mother's heart break

D/G
And makes them question life

G
We had our time of no tomorrow

Em
There was no pain, no sorrow

C/G
Now it feels every smile was borrowed

D/A
My body yearning for the bottle

G
I hope that as we're growing older

Em
The weight gets lighter on our shoulders

C/G
But since you're gone, your mother's colder

D/A
And all that I can do is hold her

D/A    Em             C/G
Oh Gabriel, my angel child

               D/A
This is no goodbye

               Em
'Cause when I close my eyes

    C/G
I keep the dream alive

D/A    Em             C/G
Oh, I see you in the sky tonight

                          D/A
And I watch your starlight glow

              Em              C/G
And you never leave, so I'll never let you go

G
Maybe someday we'll be there with you

Em
Amongst the stars of red and bright blue

C/G
But until then, shine on your mother

D/A
Be a guiding light for your big brother

G
Oh, every smile is worth the crying

Em
And every fight is worth the fighting

C/G                               D/A
My little star, you just keep on shining

D/A    Em             C/G
Oh Gabriel, my angel child

               D/A
This is no goodbye

               Em
'Cause when I close my eyes

    C/G
I keep the dream alive

D/A    Em             C/G
Oh, I see you in the sky tonight

                          D/A
And I watch your starlight glow

              Em              C/G
And you never leave, so I'll never let you go

C/G            D/A
This is no goodbye

C/G                      D/A
My young prince, my angel child
