Cowboy Junkies: Angel Mine
Capo On First
[C] [Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G] twice
[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
[F] [G]
but I'll never betray your trust
[C]
angel mine.
[C] [Am]
I search all the time on the ground
[Em]
for our shadows cast side by side.
[F] [C]
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
[G]
that you exist and are mine
[C] [Am]
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real
[Em]
as that smile in your eyes.
[F] [C]
But I [F] have to keep touching and smelling
[G]
and tasting for fear it's all lies.
Chorus:
[F] [G]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
[C] [G] [F]
or keep this tarnished halo shined
[F] [G]
but I'll never betray your trust
[C]
angel mine.
[C] [Am]
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps
[Em]
with your voice in my head.
[F]
And I could tell by your breathing
[C]
that you were still sleeping
[G]
I re-peated the words that you had said.
Chorus:
[F] [G]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
[C] [G] [F]
or keep this tarnished halo shined
[F] [G]
but I'll never betray your trust
[C]
angel mine.
[F] [G]
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
[C] [G] [F]
or keep this tarnished halo shined
[F] [G]
but I'll never betray your trust
[C]
angel mine.
[C] [Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G] (repeat and fade)
