Sam Fender – Angel In Lothian (Guitar)

Fadd9                 Am7
When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian

C              G                   Dm
I was only a child but I trust my eyes

                     Am7         C
She burnt up like a comet before me

                     G
Before I could even say "Hi"

Fadd9                 Am7
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia

C                       G               Dm
With a space station rattling above my head

               Am7
And I saw the dead

           C    G
I saw the dead

Fadd9                 Am7
Back then, yeah, the door was always open

C                           G               Dm
I'd come and go, back and forth, anytime I need

                    Am7           C
But I'm needing it more now than ever

                   G
'Cause I'm fading away

Fadd9              Am7
And I claw at the door every bad night

C                   G                    Dm
But somehow it's blocked from thе other side

                Am7          C
I claw 'til my skin comes apart

                G
Until I feel something

Fadd9                Am7
And I remember that pain in my mother

C                     G                  Dm
Being helpless and feckless and far too young

                  Am7
My brother was spiraling down

          C                          G
He said "Kid it's not me, it's this town"

Fadd9                   Am7
So I rail against that feeling when it comes

C                   G                  Dm
I no longer have solitude behind that door

              Am7          C
And I know drugs that can hold it

                   G
You gotta hold it yourself

Fadd9                  Am7
I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian

C                              G                  Dm
She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix

                    Am7
But one day I might have kids myself

      C                             G
And hope that I don't fuck them up myself

Fadd9   Am7   C   G   Dm   Am7   C   G
(And I've been here, the door's always open)
