Em7      G/D         Am7       Am7 
When the spirit slips away 
Em7                G/D         Bm7            Bm7 
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say 
Em7        G/D  Cmaj7      C 
May the angels, be watching over you 
Em7      Bm7      Em7     G/D 
When your spirit slips away 

 
Em7           G/D  Am7           Am7 
When the darkness, starts to fall 
Em7            G/D           Bm7                   Bm7 
You're on your own and your back's against the wall 
Em7        G/D  Cmaj7                  C 
May the angels, bring their flame, to you 
Em7         Bm7        Em7         Em7 
When the darkness it starts to fall 



Em7        G/D  Cmaj7            C 
May the angels, sing rejoice to you 
Em7          Bm7                  Em7        G/D 
That fateful day when your spirit slips away
