Jimi Hendrix – Angel (Acoustic) [Album: The Cry of Love (1971)]
F Cmaj6 Gm9 Gm9 (RIFF*)
Angel come down from heaven yesterday,
Bb Eb F (RIFF**)
She stayed with me just long enough for afternoon tea.
F Cmaj6 Gmin (RIFF*)
And she tell me a story yesterday,
Bb Eb F Eb
About the Love between the Moon & the deep blue sea.
Bb C# F F
And when it was time for her to go, She spread her wings high over me,
Gm9 Am9 Bbmaj
And she said, “I shall return tomorrow.”
Bbmaj Bbmaj Bbmaj Bbmaj
And I said
Eb Eb Fm9 Fm9
“Fly on my sweet angel
B A C# D Eb Eb
Fly on through the sky
Eb Fm9 Fm9
Fly on my sweet angel
B Bb C# D Eb
Tomorrow I’ll look for you by my side.”

And sure enough this morning comes to me,
Bb Eb F (RIFF**)
While silver wings silhouette against the glow of the child’s sunrise.
F Cmaj6 Gmin (RIFF*)
And as the blue birds and the sparrows envy me,
Bb Eb F Eb
She says, “I Love you little boy and today you shall fly.”
Bb C# F F
She kissed me once, And the feeling so good she made me cry.
Gm9 Am9 Bbmaj
And now we can fly together…
Eb Eb Fm9 Fm9
And I said, “Fly on my sweet Angel,
B A C# D Eb Eb
Fly on through the sky,
Eb Fm9 Fm9
Fly on my sweet angel,
B Bb C# D Eb
Together we shall always be alive.”
