Emi                    G
An angelface smiles to me
        D                  Emi
Under a headline of tragedy
                           G  D
That smile used to give me warmth
Emi                    G
Farewell - no words to say
           D             Emi
Beside the cross on your grave
                          G  D
And those forever burning candles

Emi        C
Needed elsewhere
   D                Ami               Emi
To remind us of the shortness of your time
               C    D
Tears laid for them 
         Ami           F
Tears of love tears of fear
C              G
Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows
Ami      F
Oh, Lord why
    C           G
The angels fall first?

Emi                         G       D
Not relieved by thoughts of Shangri-La
Emi                    G          E7
Nor enlightened by the lessons of Christ
Emi                       G              D
I'll never understand the meaning of the right
Emi               G        E7
Ignorance lead me into the light

Emi        C
Needed elsewhere
   D                Ami               Emi
To remind us of the shortness of your time
               C    D
Tears laid for them 
         Ami           F
Tears of love tears of fear
C              G
Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows
Ami      F
Oh, Lord why
    C           G
The angels fall first?

Ami       Emi
Sing me a song
        Dmi
Of your beauty
        Ami
Of your kingdom
                Emi         Dmi
Let the melodies of your harps
                     Ami
Caress those whom we still need

          Emi         Dmi
Yesterday we shook hands
   Ami
My friend
            Emi              Dmi
Today a moonbeam lightens my path
   Ami
My guardian
