Gino Vannelli – Wrestling With Angels (Guitar)

  Em
I wrestled with an angel

   A/C#     B7/D#
Of darkness called Des-

|Em      |       D/F#|G
 pair

                     C
  He claimed that he was

    A7/C#    Am7        D7         B7/D#
The answer   to    my   prayers

   Em
He tried to bring me around

   A/C#        D#+5      Em
to general his school of thought

   E7/G#        Am7           D9         G6
He claimed if I chose I could end all my woes

    G     Am      B   B/D#   Em
Forever   in  a   sin gle    shot

        Em
Well he damned near won me over

       A/C#    D#+5   
But my trigger finger

|Em      |       D/F#|G
 froze

          G/B       C
   Soon a battle of wits

         A7        Am7       D9  D7 B7/D#
Became a mortal ex change of hows

      Em
Right before the lights went out

               A/C#     B7/D#  Em
He pressed his whiskers to my  ear

        E7/G#       Am9
Then he spat and he cursed

       D7              G7
And he whispered these words

       G     Am    B7      B7/D#  Emadd9
With a snarl and a snigger and a  sneer

        Am7   D7
Give it up,   son

G13             Am    G7/B  C
   You know you never can   win

    Am7        C7/G      B7/F#
The world is a burning   house

        Em        D/F#   G   E7/G#
It's al ways some thing

         Am7   D7
Get your gun,  son

G13       Am       G7/B         C
     Kiss all your sorrows good bye

Am       C7/G       B7/F#
Bang and you'll be  fine

            Em
Like a bird up in the sky

     Em        D#/E   Em7
Came a-tapping on my  shoulder

          A7/C#    B7/D#            Em
It was an angel of light   called   hope

    Em       D/F#   G
She said...

                C
"Hey little boy blue

              A7/C#      A7          D      B7/D#
Please let an old friend throw you a rope"

        Em      D#/E     Em
Sure is dark,   cold and windy

        A7/C#         B7/D#
And the heavens ain't no great

|Em      |     D/F#|
 shakes

    E7/G#   Am7
But weather wise

         D9           G9-5
You just might be sur prised

G         Am           G/B   B7/D#    Em7
   What a difference a day            makes

           Am7  D7
Don't give up,  son

G13       Am       G7/B         C
     It's true you can't always win

    Am        C7/G    B7/F#
The world's a burning house

            Em         D/F#                    G         E7/G#
It's always something        (there's always a something)

          Am9   D7
Hide your gun, son

G13            Am7  G7/B     C
    One to the head won't do you right

     Am7      C7/G           B7/F#
Come on and I bet you'll see things

     Em7
In a who-o-o-o-o-ole different light
