On the clifftop

Of the blessed

He flaps his elbows and he

Wears a dress

Soon he's flying
A E
Over town
D E F#m
He sees the floods, the fires, he laughs
F#m7 B7
Turning to the clouds
G A G
They called him weak and they were wrong
G A C
Cos Angel knows where he belongs
[Chorus]

Angels, an-gels

Keep the angels off my back

Angels, an-gels
G A B
Keep the angels off my back

So sue your baker

Sue your tailor

And anyone who knows

With wings of white and skin of blue
G A C
Tomorrow belongs to you
[Chorus]
G A Em A
Angels, an-gels
G A Bm
Keep the angels off my back
[Instrumental]
B E D
[Bridge]
A E A
I've got a message for you

I've got a message for you
D E F#m
All the tortured boys and girls

Can go where he has gone
[Outro]

Angels, an-gels
G A B
Keep the angels off my back
