(Intro)
C F C F (x 4)
(Verse 1)
C F 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
F G Soul love This love won't let me go So long Angel of Harlem
C F C F
(Verse 2) Birdland on fifty-three The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles, and she's got to be an angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies Angel (Chorus) Angel of Harlem
Am G F
Am She says it's heart Heart and soul... C F C F (x 2)
(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 (Bridge)
F An angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an angel Yeah, yeah Angel of Harlem
(Outro)
C F C F (repeat to fade)
