First released by Robbie Williams in 1997, “Angels” has since become a global hit and covered by many artists including Jessica Simpson, Beverley Knight, Yuridia, David Archuleta and All Angels, as well as being translated into Spanish and Italian versions too.
I hope you enjoy playing along with the letter notes below – it’s a pretty easy arrangement 🙂
F A G F
I sit and wait
A ^C ^D-^C A-^C-^D ^C ^C
Does an angel contemplate my fate
F A G F
And do they know
F A-G A G A
The places where we go
A G A ^C ^C
When we’re grey and old?
F A G F
Cause I’ve been told
A ^C-^D-^C A ^C ^D ^C-^C
That salvation lets their wings unfold
F G A Bb-A Bb A Bb
So when I’m lying in my bed
F Bb-A Bb A Bb
Thoughts running through my head
Bb Bb Bb A A G A
And I feel the love is dead
Bb Bb-Bb A-G F – F
I’m loving angels instead
F A ^C ^G
And through it all
^G ^G-^F ^G ^F-^A-^G
She offers me protection
^F ^F ^F ^F ^F ^D-^G-^F
A lot of love and affection
^D-^D ^D ^D ^C ^C
Whether I’m right or wrong
F A A ^C-^C-^G
And down the waterfall
^G-^G-^F ^G ^F ^A ^G
Wherever it may take me
^F ^F ^F ^F ^F ^D-^G-^F
I know that life won’t break me
^D ^D ^D ^C ^C
When I come to call
A A F – A G
She won’t forsake me
Bb Bb-Bb A-G F – F
I’m loving angels instead…
