Verse:
   D
We stayed at the barroom 'til closin'
  G                               D
I held down the place at his side
    D
And drank to the memory that crushed him
  B/E                      A7
A lady who'd loved him and died
    D                       D7
And purely could not find a reason
   G                     D
To get it back up and go on
     G                      D
Then out of the dark came a stranger
    A7                      D
who turned us around with a song

Verse 2:
        D
He said I know the pain that you're feelin'
G                        D
I had a sweet little girl
    D
And I loved her more than her mother
E                         A7
  Or anything else in the world
D
Sure as I loved her I lost her
G                        D
  Sure as I wanted to die
     G                  D
Then I had a dream or a vision
   A7                    D
of wonder that opened my eyes


Chorus:
  G
I dreamed of a young band of angels
     C                               G
That shone like the stars from above
      G
Cause each held a bright burning candle
  A7                   D
Except for the angel I loved
      G
And I asked why their candles were burnin'
        C                        G
Oh, and why that hers wasn't the same
         C                       G
She said oh daddy each time that I try to light it
     D                            G
Your tears just keep drownin' the flame


Interlude:
G   G   G
D   D   D   D


Verse 3:
   D
We stared at the stranger in silence
    G                     D
His spirit was truly alive
   D
Or if life had made his eyes glisten
    E                            A7
The diamond was bright in his eye
    D
And everyone who ever loved him
       G                      D
Though fortune had torn them apart
   G                        D
He lived in the hall of the angels
   G                            Am
As long as the love in his heart


Outro:
         G                       C
Oh we'll live in the hall of the angels
 G                          G      C
along with the love in your hearts
