[Verse]
Em                     G
An angelface smiles to me

        D                  Em
Under a headline of tragedy

                           G  D
That smile used to give me warmth

Em                    G
Farewell - no words to say

        D                  Em
Beside the cross on your grave

                           G  D
And those forever burning candles
[Bridge] (Flute part) Am Em Am G B [Chorus]
Em          C
Needed elsewhere

D                   Am               Em
To remind us of the shortness of our time

                C  D
Tears laid for them

         Am             F
Tears of love, tears of fear

C               G
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows

Am       F
Oh, Lord why

    C           G
The angels fall first?
[Verse]
Em                          G       D
Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La

Em                     G          E7
Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ

Em                        G              D
I'll never understand the meaning of the right

Em                G        E7
Ignorance lead me into the light.
[Bridge] (Flute part) Am Em Am G B [Chorus]
Em         C
Needed elsewhere

   D                Am               Em
To remind us of the shortness of our time

               C   D
Tears laid for them

         Am             F
Tears of love, tears of fear

C               G
Bury my dreams, dig up my sorrows

Am       F
Oh, Lord why

    C           G
The angels fall first?
[Bridge] (Flute SOLO, fingertips) Em G C Em/D Asus2 [Outro]
Am        Em
Sing me a song

        Dm
Of your beauty

        Am
Of your kingdom

                 Em          Dm
Let the melodies of your harps

                      Am
Caress those whom we still need

          Em          Dm
Yesterday we shook hands

   Am
My friend

        Em                   Dm
Today a moonbeam lightens my path

   Am
My guardian
