Judy Collins - Angel On My Side
[Intro]
C F C F G
[Verse 1]
C Am
There was a time when the clocks all stopped
F C Bb
When the world just went away
F G
I didn't know if it was night or day
[Verse 2]
C Am F C Bb
I didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky
F G
Didn't want to live if I could die
F C Dm7 G Bb
Somewhere down the line I found myself up on that road
F G
Where the devil led me, I would go
C Am F C Bb
I had sold my soul for pleasure, thinking it would last
Dm G
All my hopes had vanished in the past
[Chorus]
F D7 F C
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Am C F
Drifting away with the tide
D7 F C
God only knows how I made it back home
Bb F C F C F G
I must have an angel on my side
[Verse 3]
C Am F C Bb
In the morning I'd wake up and shake my weary head
F G
Wonder where I'd been and what I'd said
F C Dm7 G
Was I on the River Styx for all eternity?
Bb F G
Would I drown forever in the sea?
C Am F C Bb
Why did anyone keep living, what was there to find?
F G
I wanted just a little peace of mind
[Chorus]
F D7 F C
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Am C F
Drifting away with the tide
D7 F C
God only knows how I made it back home
Bb F C F C F G
I must have an angel on my side
[Verse 4]
C Am F C
Never had a flash of lightning comin' right at me
Bb F G
One day I just know, I woke up free
F C Dm7 G
The day was breaking, I was living, I couldn't tell you why
Bb F G
First I laughed and then I learned to cry
C Am F C Bb
Something in my heart was saying, you can reach the sky
F G
You just gotta live until you die
[Chorus]
F D7 F C
Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Am C F
Drifting away with the tide
D7 F C
God only knows how I made it back home
Bb F C
I must have an angel on my side
Bb F
I must have an angel
Bb F
I must have an angel
Em Bb F G C
I must have an angel on my side___
