Jackson Browne – Too Many Angels (Guitar)

Em
There's an angel on a ribbon

Em
Hanging from the armoire door

F#m
There's a Cupid with his feet crossed

        G
On the bird cage by the door

Em
There's a baby angel drummer

Em
His eyes are open wide

F#m
And two more tiny cherubs

Em
On the mantle side by side

Am
Too many angels

Em
Have seen me crying

Am    G    Am
Too many angels

Em
Have heard you lying

Em
There are photographs of children

Em
All in their silver frames

F#m
On the window sills and tabletops

Em
Lit by candle flames

Em
And upon their angel faces

Em
Life's expectations climb

F#m
Where the moment has preserved them

Em
From the ravages of time

Am
Too many angels

Em
Have seen me crying

Am
Too many angels

Em
Have heard you lying

G
Bring the morning on

Bm
 (backing vocal) Voices sing of day

Em                           G
I want to step out in the morning sun

G
 (backing vocal) Through the flood of tears

C                     Em
I want this darkness gone

Em
(backing vocal) Your sweet face appears

C
These apparitions coming one by one

Am
But there's no end in sight

G
Only the dead of night

Em
And too many angels

Am
Too many angels

Em
Have seen me crying

Am
Too many angels

Em
Have heard you lying

Am
Too many angels

G
Bring the morning on

G
 (backing vocal) Voices sing of day

Em                        D
I want to step out in the morning sun

D
 (backing vocal) Through the flood of tears

C
I want to greet the dawn

C
 (backing vocal) Cast away these fears

C                  D
Forget about the things we could have done

G
Bring the morning on

C
 (backing vocal) Voices sing of day

Em
I want to watch the children as they run

C
 (backing vocal) Through the broken years

C
I want this darkness gone

C
 (backing vocal) Your sweet face appears

C
These apparitions coming one by one

Em
But there's no end in sight

C
Only the dead of night

Em
And too many angels
