[Verse]
         E              A
It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched the ground at JFK

Snow was melting on the ground
   E     A         
  On BLS I heard the
              E    A  E  A
sound, of an angel
E                A
New York, like a Christmas tree
  E               
  Tonight this city
   A            E     A  E  A
belongs to me, Angel

So long, angel of Harlem

E           A
Birdland on fifty-three
     E                   A
The street sounds like a symphony
       E             
  We got John Coltrane
       A
and a love supreme
E                
  Miles says she's
  A            E    A  E  A
got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyes

behind the lies, angel

[Verse]
E                 A
Blue light on the avenue
E              A
God knows they got to you
   E                A
An empty glass, the lady sings
E                   A
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
E       A
Blinded you lost your way
E                       A  
Through the side streets

and the alleyway
E                     A
Like a star exploding in the night
E                   
  Falling to the city
    A
in broad daylight


[Pre-chorus]
   A
An angel in Devil's shoes
B
Salvation in the blues
                         A
You never looked like an angel
