Angel Child

Intro: G   Em  C/G   A/D  (2x) 

 
G 
This is a story of a young prince 
Em 
Never got to taste the sweet things 
C/G 
He never got to spread his wild wings 
D/A 
To have a chance to fly 
G 
This is a story 'bout a heartache 
Em 
The kind that makes a father's hand shake 
C/G 
The kind that makes a mother's heart break 
D/G 
And makes them question life  

G  Em  C/G  A/D 

 
G 
We had our time of no tomorrow 
Em 
There was no pain, no sorrow 
C/G 
Now it feels every smile was borrowed 
D/A 
My body yearning for the bottle 
G 
I hope that as we're growing older 
Em 
The weight gets lighter on our shoulders 
C/G 
But since you're gone, your mother's colder 
D/A 
And all that I can do is hold her 
 

 
D/A    Em             C/G 
Oh Gabriel, my angel child 
               D/A 
This is no goodbye 
               Em 
'Cause when I close my eyes 
    C/G 
I keep the dream alive 
D/A    Em             C/G 
Oh, I see you in the sky tonight 
                          D/A 
And I watch your starlight glow 
              Em              C/G 
And you never leave, so I'll never let you go  


G  Em  C/G  D/A 

 
G 
Maybe someday we'll be there with you 
Em 
Amongst the stars of red and bright blue 
C/G 
But until then, shine on your mother 
D/A 
Be a guiding light for your big brother 
 

 
G 
Oh, every smile is worth the crying 
Em 
And every fight is worth the fighting 
C/G                               D/A 
My little star, you just keep on shining 
 

 
D/A    Em             C/G 
Oh Gabriel, my angel child 
               D/A 
This is no goodbye 
               Em 
'Cause when I close my eyes 
    C/G 
I keep the dream alive 
D/A    Em             C/G 
Oh, I see you in the sky tonight 
                          D/A 
And I watch your starlight glow 
              Em              C/G 
And you never leave, so I'll never let you go
