Subject: Angels Among Us
Here it is! One of the coolest songs of all time!
"ANGELS AMONG US"
by Becky Hobbs and Don Goodman
performed by none other than ALABAMA
4/4 time; I play with the capo at the first fret, so it'll be in the right
key. So if you want it to be in the correct key (Ab), either do that or
don't use a capo and play all chords 1/2 step up from how they are written
here.
G D/F# |C(add D) |G Bm7 |C (add D) D7 |
verse 1
{spoken:}
[G]I was walkin' [D/F#]home from school
[Em7]on a [C (add D)] cold winter day,
[G]took a short cut [Em7]through the [C (add D)]woods
and I [D]lost my way.
[G]It was gettin' [D/F#]late, [Em7]and I was [C (add D)]scared and alone.
[G]Then a kind old [Fm7]man took my [C (add D)hand, and led [D]me home.
{sung:}[C (add D)]mama couldn't see [Bm7]him,
but [C (add D)]he was standing [D7]there,
and [C (add D)]I knew in my [G/B]heart
he was the [C (add D)]answer to my [D7]prayer.
Chorus:
Oh, [G add A]I be-[Em7]lieve there are [Am7]Angels A-[D7]mong Us,
[G add A]sent down [Em7]to us from [C add D]somewhere up above.
[D7]They come to [G add A]you and [Em7]me in [C]our darkest hours[D7]
to [C add D]show us how to [Bm7]live
to [C add D]teach us how to [D7] give
to [C add D]guide us with a [D7]light of [G]love.
G Bm7 |C add D D7 |
Verse 2
When life held troubled times
and had me down on my knees
there's always been someone
to come along and comfort me
a kind word from a stranger
to lend a helping hand
a phone call from a friend
just to say I understand
Now ain't it kind of funny
at the dark end of the road
someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.
repeat Chorus
Bridge:
[C add D]They wear so [Bm7]many faces,
[C add D]show up in the [Bm7]strangest places
and [C add D]grace us with their [Bm7]mercies [Am7]in our time of [D7]need.
repeat chorus
then repeat, "to guide us with a light of love"
G |C |D7 |G
y'all enjoy!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ALABAMA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
