Song: Angel Mine
Artist: Cowboy Junkies
Album: Lay it Down

A great song by a relatively unknown Canadian band.  Played on an acoustic, in standard 
tuning.

Chords:
C: -32010
Am: -02210
Em: 022000
F: 133211
G: 320033

Intro (x2):
C Am E
F C G

Verse 1:
    C                               am
He searched for those wings that he knew
                        Em
that this angel should have at her back
     F                  
And although he can't find them
    C
he really don't mind
            G
because he knows they'll grow back
        C                            Am
And he reached for that halo that he knows
                       Em
that she had when she first caught his eye
              F
Although his hand came back empty
      C
he's really not worried
            G
because he knows it still shines

Chorus:
F                          G
I can't promise that I'll grow those wings
    C                   G    F
Or keep this tarnished halo shined
                            G
But I'll never betray your trust
     C
Angel mine

Verse 2 (Same chords)
I search all the time on the ground
for our shadows cast side by side
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
that you exist and are mine
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real
as that smile in your eyes
But I have to keep touching and smelling
and tasting for fear it's all lies

Chorus

Verse 3 (Same chords, but strum only once)
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps
with your voice in my head
And I could tell by your breathing
that you were still sleeping
I repeated the words that you had said

(some downstrokes on G, starting quietly, and crescendoing)

Chorus x2
