In the Hands of Angels
Written by Leon Russell

G-A-D-Bm-Em-G-A-D G/D-D

D		       A7	          D     D7
Well I could have been sick, I could have died
  G               A7		D    D7-Em-D7
I could have given up and not tried
  G        A7    F#7 Bm
To make it to tomoorrow
	Em     E7      A   A7
Like a broken hearted lover

          D      A7       D    D7
But there was a brand new start
     G       A7     D     D7-Em-D7
And suddenly I was taken
G       A   F#7  Bm
New and faraway places
        Em    E7     A      A7
And the music I was shaken

   D      A7       D     D7
It was a whole new race
      G        A7         D   D7-Em-D7
When I woke on that first day
G         A7      F#7     Bm
There was nothing I could say
      Em     E7        A      A7
I was in the hands of angels

D       A7     D	D7
Johnny and the governor
         G          A7    D      D7-Em
Came and brought me to my senses
D7   G       A7        F#7     Bm
They made me feel just like a king
        Em          E7     A      A7
Made me lose all my bad defences

         D             A7                D    D7
And they knew all the places I needed to go
G          A7       D          D7-Em
All of the people I needed to know
D7    G          A7        F#7        Bm
They knew who I needed and who needed me
    Em             E7
And who would come help me
               A	     A7
And who would just let me be

      D       A7       D       D7
I was in the hands of angels
   G       A7    D  D7-Em-D7
Until this very day
   G        A7      F#7-Bm
Inside the hands of angels
     Em    E7    A    A7
What more can I say

            D      A7       D       D7
When you're in the hands of angels
G       A7      D   D7-Em
Life is oh so sweet
   D7     G       AA7       F#7    Bm       
And you feel the love down deep inside
      Em       E7       A      A7
Even out there on the street

D      A7        D       D7
In the hands of angels
