Angels Among Us Lyrics

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 |
I was walkin' home from school
on a cold winter day,
took a short cut through the woods
and I lost my way.
It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.
(add )hand, and led [
Then a kind old man took my me home.
mama couldn't see him,
but he was standing there,
and I knew in my heart
he was the answer to my prayer.
Chorus:
ad
Oh, I be-lieve there are Angels A-mong Us,
ad ad
sent down to us from somewhere up above.
ad
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
ad
to show us how to live
ad
to teach us how to give
ad
to guide us with a light of love.
G Bm7 |C add D D7 |
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:
ad
They wear so many faces,
ad
show up in the strangest places
ad
and grace us with their mercies in our time of need.
repeat chorus
then repeat, "to guide us with a light of love"
y'all enjoy!
