Angels Among Us

Intro: G Bm7 C D

  G                     D/F#
I was walking home from school
     Em          C
On a cold winter day
       G                    Em           C          D
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
G              D/F#              Em           C
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
           G             Em          C
But then a precious baby boy took my hand
              D
And led me home

C             Bm7            C                D
Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
    C            Bm7
And I knew in my heart
           C            D
He was the answer to my prayers

   G   Em7              Am7      D
Oh I believe there are angels among us
G         Em7         C            D
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
             G       Em7   C            D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
   C              Bm7      C               D
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
   C                 D     D7      G Bm7 C D
To guide us with the light of love

    G                   D/F#
When life held troubled times
           Em         C
And had me down on my knees
        G               Em
There's always been someone
         C                D
To come along and comfort me
  G                D/F#
A kind word from a stranger
   Em             C
To lend a helping hand
  G                 Em              C            D
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand

C                    Bm7               C               D
And ain't it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road
C                  Bm7
Someone lights the way
            C             D
With just a single ray of hope

   G   Em7              Am7      D
Oh I believe there are angels among us
G         Em         C            D
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
             G       Em7   C            D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
   C              Bm7      C               D
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
   C                 D     D7
To guide us with the light of love


C            Bm7
They wear so many faces
C              Em
Show up in the strangest places
   C                   Bm7
To grace us with their mercy
Am7            D
In our time of need

   G   Em7              Am7      D
Oh I believe there are angels among us
G         Em         C            D
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
             G       Em7   C            D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
   C              Bm7      C               D
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
   C                 D     D7      G Bm7 C D G
To guide us with the light of love
