Someone ask for this song recently...Sending Me Angels.

I'd love to go on that cruise Delbert has every year in January some time.
Wall to wall music, 24 hours a day for seven days...www.delbert.com

Although I have been peeking and borrowing songs quite a bit, this is my
first shot at sending in something. Hope it helps someone as much as other
songs have helped me!!

On my guitar, I put a kapo on the first fret, and then play right with the
CD using these chords. Here goes...

Sending Me Angels
Written by Jerry Lynn Williams and Frankie Miller / 1992
As sung by Delbert McClinton
Submitted by Randy Parks (parksfam@hit.net)

A                           E
I walked down to the river, stood on the shore
A                                       D
Seems like the devil's always tryin' to get in my door
     A                              E
And just when I thought I couldn't take any more
         D              A (bar chord this A)
Here he came again, my friend

Chorus:
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D        A
He keeps sending me angels from on high
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D              A
He keeps sending me angels to teach me to fly
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D           A
He keeps sending me angels, sweet and true
          F#m      Bm/C#m7/D     E    A
He keeps sending me angels just like you



As I stand on this mountain, face to the wind
Amazed by the number of times I have sinned
And the countless enemies that should have been friends
Oh, here he comes again, my friend

Chorus:

Instrumental Bridge (same chords as chorus)


Some say that it's coming, I say it's already here
The love that's among us through the joy and the fear
When I look in your eyes everything is so clear
My friend, here he comes again

Chorus:
