Angel of harlem

C                      F
It was a cold and wet December day
C                              F
When we touched the ground at JFK
C              F
Snow was melting on the ground
C        F                        C    F
  F
On BLS I heard the sound,   of an angel
C               F
New York, like a Christmas tree
C                F                C     F
 F
Tonight this city belongs to me,   Angel


[Chorus I]       (change to a normal F)

F     G                           F
Soul love...this love won't let me go
          G       [C    F]       (x4)
So long...angel of Harlem

C                    F
Birdland on fifty-three
C                        F
The street sounds like a symphony
C                        F
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
C                      F       C   F
 F
Miles says she's got to be an angel
C                  F
Lady Day got diamond eyes
C                             F      C     F
  F
She sees the truth behind the lies,   Angel


[Chorus II] (change to a normal F)

[Break] (change to normal chords)

Am     G         F
Oooh, oooh….oooh, aaahh aaaaahhh
        Am      G                F      (1 strum & stop)
 She says it's heart...heart and soul...

Pause 2-3-4

             [C     F]   x4
Yeah yeah...(yeah)

C                   F
Blue light on the avenue
C                   F
God knows they got to you
C                    F
An empty glass, the lady sings
C                    F
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
C                F
Blinded you lost your way
C                                F
Through the side streets and the alleyway
C                     F
Like a star exploding in the night
C                       F
Falling to the city in broad daylight

[Break] (change to normal chords)
      F
An angel in Devil's shoes
G
Salvation in the blues
                          F
You never looked like an angel
          G          [C    F]   x4
Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem
