Chris Hillman – Angels' Cry lyrics

Down in the valley where the wild winds blow
E D A B
They say a lady died when the moon cast it's glow
E D A
A angel in white comes walking real slow
E
Her hands all wrapped in velvet
B E
She goes down where the water flows
E
Her hair is black as raven
A E
Skin so pearly white
E D A B
A fair maiden never walks alone in the pale moon night
E D A
Her voice cries often where has my lover gone
E B E
Took off down the river left me here alone
D A E
Cry cry the angels cry
E A E
Come meet me by the whillow whispered in her ear
E D A B
She waited there so patiently but he never did appear
E
She heard the horses gallup
D A
And the words the rider said
E B E
Your true love has been taken to hang by the river bed
D A E D A E
Cry cry the angels cry
D Bm
Why has thou forsaken me she cried out thru the night
A B
Grabbed a silver dagger it was there she took her life


SOLO

E A
Now she wanders thru thr valley crying out his name
D A B
Searching for her lovers ghost but only in vain
E D A
For he never died that night still she'll never knoiw
E
With her hands all wrapped in velvet
B E
She goes down where the water flows
D A E D A E
Cry cry the angels cry
