Chords

Three-four time [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] | C | C | C | G | D | G | [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
