Angels Around Her

G G Em Em C D G G G There with momma at the door Em We heard that yellow bluebird roar C D D My first day of school I couldn't wait G She said “You know I love you, girl Em You’re not alone out in this world” C D G As I stepped aboard that bus I heard her say... C If you could put angels around her G Em Angels around her C D Together they could fly above the rain C And if you put angels around her G Em Angels around her C D D She'll be safe to do most anything C D G G Wrapped so gently in those angels wings | Em | Em | C | D | G | G | G I was barely sweet 16 Em No one could tell me anything C D And even momma said, “wild as the wind” G She'd gently kiss me on the cheek Em Send up a prayer my soul to keep C D G And I roll my eyes as she whispered once again... C If you could put angels around her G Em Angels around her C D Together they could fly above the rain C And if you put angels around her G Em Angels around her C D D She'll be safe to do most anything C D C C Wrapped so gently in those angels wings | G | G | Am | Am | D | D | G Now momma's tired of holding on, Em She's says it’s time for movin’ on C D D And who am I to try and tell her no G I fight my tears, disguise my pain, Em Hold her hand and softly pray C D G “God, give me strength if I have to let her go” C You could put angels around her G Em Angels around her C D Together they could fly above the rain C And if you put angels around her G Em Angels around her C D D She'll be safe to do most anything C D G Em Wrapped so gently in those angels wings C D G Forever wrapped so gently in those angel wings | G | Em | Em | C | D | G
