SAINTE MARIE BUFFY - "angel" Tablature
Official SAINTE MARIE BUFFY Tablature & Sheet Music »
ok, doesn't anyone remember buffy sainte-marie? she actually wrote a bunch of mainstream songs
("until it's time for you to go", "up where we belong",
yet so many people have NEVER heard of her!!
her writing is amazing.
i have a songbook of hers ,which is 30 years old,
and has an extensive collection of her songs, yet "the angel" is not in it.
really a beatiful song, and i couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere,
and they weren't included on her "best of" cd's , either.
so i had to listen, and type, and listen, and type...
and i'm pretty sure these chords are right.
but if you know better, please feel free to email me with any corrections.
mrspremise77@aol.com.
cheers.

buffy sainte marie
G Em
come now, and now my love,
Am C G Em
and leave your dying desert to the rains
G Em
give up your treasured wounds,
Am C G Em
let go the tempting memory of the pain.
C D
give up the vows you've taken
G Em C Am G
and you will live, and you will learn to fly away,
D
and you will fly.
G Em
and you will live my love
Am C G Em
and see the stars regain your starless night
G Em
and you will find your sun
Am C G Em
and learn the magic meaning of it's light
C D
all souls will be yours to cherish
G Em C Am G
rising, falling, in their earthly flight
D
and you will fly
G Em
and i would love my love
Am C G Em
and he would seek a refuge in my eyes
G Em
but no resource of love,
Am C G Em
could keep him from the fire where loving dies
C D
and i would reach out my hand as he was
G Em C Am G
falling, falling to his home on high
D
and he would fly
G Em Am C G Em
G Em
give up your treasured wounds,
Am C G Em
let go the tempting memory of the pain
C D
give up the vows you've taken
G Em C Am G
and you will live, and you will learn to fly again,
D
and you will fly.
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 SAINTE MARIE BUFFY 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.
