[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse 1]
G We stayed at the barroom 'til closin' C G G I held down a place at his side G And drank to the memory that crushed him A7 D D7 A lady who loved him and died G He purely could not find a reason C G To get it back up and go on C G Then out of the dark came a stranger D7 G G G G Turned us around with a song
[Verse 2]
G He said I know the pain that you're feelin' C G G I had a sweet little girl G And I loved her more than her mother A7 D D7 Or anything else in the world G Sure as I loved her I lost her C G Sure as I wanted to die C G Then I had a dream or a vision D7 G G G G Of wonders that opened my eyes
[Chorus]
C I dreamed of a young band of angels F C C That shone like the stars from above C But each held a bright burning candle D7 G G Except for the angel I loved C And I asked why their candles were burnin' F C And why that hers wasn't the same F C She said oh daddy each time that I try to light it G C Your tears just keep drownin' the flame
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
C G We stared at the stranger in silence C G His spirit was truly alive G If life had made his eyes glisten A7 D D7 The diamond was bright in his eyes G Cause everyone who ever loved him C G Though fortune had torn them apart C G Lived in the hall of the angels D G As long as the love in his heart
[Outro]
C G Oh they'll live in the hall of the angels D G G G G G As long as the love in your heart
