My Angel Chords & Tabs

by Adrianne Lenker

[Version Description]
A bare bones campfire version of this hauntingly beautiful piece of music. These four chords go a long way creating the core of the song. The vocal part starts after an almost 2 minute intro, don't play chords here. Listen to the original version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlEp_zt8Xk4.

[Intro]
N.C. (for 1 mins 56 sec)
Am Em C Fmaj7 (2x)

[Verse 1]
 Am   Em        C     Fmaj7
Step over the edge too far
  C      Em         Am        Fmaj7
Open my hands that catch your wall
  Am        Em          C       Fmaj7
Nothing to hear but my very own cry
 C    Em       Am       Fmaj7
Far below the rocks and sky

[Chorus]
Am    Em   C   Fmaj7   
My angel, my angel (2x)

[Verse 2]
   Am      Em     C      Fmaj7
Strange as she appears to be
   C     Em     Am    Fmaj7
Oldest friend invisibly
     Am         Em           C      Fmaj7
She brushes my hair with a physical hand
  C        Em   Am      Fmaj7  
Lowers my body down to the land

[Chorus]
Am    Em   C   Fmaj7   
My angel, my angel (2x)

[Break]
Am Em C Fmaj7 C Em Am Fmaj7 (2x)
Am Em C Fmaj7 (2x)

[Verse 3]
   Am         Em           C     Fmaj7
Beneath the ledge in the morning mist
       C        Em     Am     Fmaj7
She kisses my eyelids and my wrists
   Am         Em              C       Fmaj7 
Wake to the bleeding of the blade of thе sun
   C      Em    Am  Fmaj7
Returning to my oxygen

[Chorus]
Am    Em   C   Fmaj7   
My angel, my angel (3x)
