Verse

It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched the ground at JFK

Snow was melting on the ground

 On BLS I heard the sound, of an angel

New York, like a Christmas tree

 Tonight this city belongs to me, Angel

Chorus i

change to a normal F)

Soul love...this love won't let me go

  [ ] (x4)

So long...angel of Harlem

Birdland on fifty-three

The street sounds like a symphony

We got John Coltrane and a love supreme

 Miles says she's got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyes

 She sees the truth behind the lies, Angel

Chorus ii

change to a normal F)

Break

(change to normal chords)

Oooh, oooh

.oooh, aaahh aaaaahhh

  She says it's heart...heart and soul...

Pause 2-3-4

  [ ] x4

Yeah yeah...(yeah)

Blue light on the avenue

God knows they got to you

An empty glass, the lady sings

Eyes swollen like a bee sting

Blinded you lost your way

Through the side streets and the alleyway

Like a star exploding in the night

Falling to the city in broad daylight

Break

(change to normal chords)

 An angel in Devil's shoes

Salvation in the blues

 You never looked like an angel

  [ ] x4

Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem
