Aunque muchos la recordarán por haber escrito junto a Jack Niztsche “Up Where We Belong”, canción que le valió un Óscar y que Joe Cocker y Jennifer Warnes convirtieron en banda sonora de “Oficial y caballero”, la canadiense Buffy Sainte-Marie es cualquier cosa menos una “one hit wonder”. Cantante, compositora, activista social y artista visual, entre muchas otras cosas, Sainte-Marie es también una figura clave de la música americana de las últimas décadas
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
ok, doesn't anyone remember buffy sainte-marie? she actually wrote a bunch of mainstream songs ("until it's time for you to go", "up where we belong", yet so many people have NEVER heard of her!! her writing is amazing. i have a songbook of hers ,which is 30 years old, and has an extensive collection of her songs, yet "the angel" is not in it. really a beatiful song, and i couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere, and they weren't included on her "best of" cd's , either. so i had to listen, and type, and listen, and type... and i'm pretty sure these chords are right. but if you know better, please feel free to email me with any corrections.

GEm come now, and now my love, AmCGEm and leave your dying desert to the rains GEm give up your treasured wounds, AmCGEm let go the tempting memory of the pain. CD give up the vows you've taken GEmCAmG and you will live, and you will learn to fly away, D and you will fly.
GEm and you will live my love AmCGEm and see the stars regain your starless night GEm and you will find your sun AmCGEm and learn the magic meaning of it's light CD all souls will be yours to cherish GEmCAmG rising, falling, in their earthly flight D and you will fly
GEm and i would love my love AmCGEm and he would seek a refuge in my eyes GEm but no resource of love, AmCGEm could keep him from the fire where loving dies CD and i would reach out my hand as he was GEmCAmG falling, falling to his home on high D and he would fly
GEmAmCGEm
GEm give up your treasured wounds, AmCGEm let go the tempting memory of the pain CD give up the vows you've taken GEmCAmG and you will live, and you will learn to fly again, D and you will fly.
