Angel Of Harlem

[Intro]

 

 

 

[Verse 1]

 

It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched the ground at JFK

Snow was melting on the ground

On BLS I heard the sound, of an angel

New York, like a Christmas tree

Tonight this city belongs to me, Angel

 

 

[Chorus I] (change to a normal F)

 

Soul love...this love won't let me go

So long...angel of Harlem

 

 

[Verse 2]

 

Birdland on fifty-three

The street sounds like a symphony

We got John Coltrane and a love supreme

Miles says she's got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyes

She sees the truth behind the lies, Angel

 

 

[Chorus II] (change to a normal F)

 

 

[Break] (change to normal chords)

 

Oooh, oooh… oooh, aaahh aaaaahhh

She says it's heart... heart and soul...

 

Pause 2-3-4

 

Yeah yeah...(yeah)

 

 

[Verse 3]

 

Blue light on the avenue

God knows they got to you

An empty glass, the lady sings

Eyes swollen like a bee sting

Blinded you lost your way

Through the side streets and the alleyway

Like a star exploding in the night

Falling to the city in broad daylight

 

 

[Break] (change to normal chords)

 

An angel in Devil's shoes

Salvation in the blues

You never looked like an angel

Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem
