D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/A [ D/A ]
My poor heart was heavy, my poor heart was stone
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/A [ D/A ]
Then I heard them - they were angels, and they were singing:
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/A
'You're not alone',
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/E [ D/A ]
'There is a peace you've never known'
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/A [ D/A ]
I could hear trumpets, I could hear them blow
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/A [ D/A ]
Then the angels summoned chariots, the angels told them
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/A
'Swing, swing low'
D/A Dmaj7/A D6/A G/E
The angels told them 'swing, swing low'

May you hear them - they are angels, they may be singing
