[Intro]
D G x4
fingerpicking intro
[Verse 1]
G D
Oh I should have seen it coming
A Em
Guess I should have stayed awake
C G
Always some damned fool mistake
A Bm
Keeps me falling in this place
G D
Change is sometimes for the better
A Em
If a man can keep his head
C G
Well at least that's what I've read
A Bm G
Can't believe all that is said
[Chorus]
G D
Oh you angel of mercy
G A
Won't you have me as a friend
Em G
I have nothing but the end
C G
Inside of me
G D
Take me high above the canyons
G A
Through the midnight blues and grays
Em G
Lead me from the devil's ways
C G
Fly me free
D G x4
Fly me free
[Verse 2]
G D
Where the midnight smells of whiskey
A Em
And the morning's soaked in gin
C G
There's a new day that begins
A Bm
If we turn our faith within
G D
And I've tried to love my brother
A Em
But my heart has lost its way
C G
And I've never learned to pray
A Bm G
Never tried until today
[Chorus]
G D
Oh you angel of mercy
G A
Won't you have me as a friend
Em G
I have nothing but the end
C G
Inside of me
G D
Take me high above the canyons
G A
Through the midnight blues and grays
Em G
Lead me from the devil's ways
C G
Fly me free
D G x4
Fly me free
