Intro (x2):
C Am E
F C G
Verse 1:
C am
He searched for those wings that he knew
Em
that this angel should have at her back
F
And although he can't find them
C
he really don't mind
G
because he knows they'll grow back
C Am
And he reached for that halo that he knows
Em
that she had when she first caught his eye
F
Although his hand came back empty
C
he's really not worried
G
because he knows it still shines
Chorus:
F G
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
C G F
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
G
But I'll never betray your trust
C
Angel mine
Verse 2 (Same chords)
I search all the time on the ground
for our shadows cast side by side
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
that you exist and are mine
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real
as that smile in your eyes
But I have to keep touching and smelling
and tasting for fear it's all lies
Chorus
Verse 3 (Same chords, but strum only once)
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps
with your voice in my head
And I could tell by your breathing
that you were still sleeping
I repeated the words that you had said
(some downstrokes on G, starting quietly, and crescendoing)
Chorus x2
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 COWBOY JUNKIES 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.
