(C   F)  
It was a cold and wet December day  When we touched down at JFK   
Snow was melting on the ground  On BLS I heard the sound (of an Angel)  
New York like a Christmas tree I said tonight this city belongs to me (Angel)  
F       G                      F            
Soul love this love won't let me go  
G            C   F  
So long...Angel of Harlem  
  
(C   F)  
Birdland on 53, the street sounds like a symphony  We got John Coltrane and  love supreme Miles and  
she has to be an Angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies (Angel)  
F       G                      F  
Soul love this love won't let me go  
G            C   F  
So long...Angel of Harlem  
  
Am      G   F                  Am G             F  
ooh ooh ooh ooh she sings with heart, heart and soul  
  
(C   F)  
Blue light on the avenue God knows they got to you  
An empty glass, the lady sings Eyes swollen like a bee sting  
Blinded you lost your way On the side streets and the alleyways  
Like a star exploding in the night Filling up the city with broad daylight  
F                                     G 
An Angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues  
                                            F  
You never looked like an Angel  
G                                  (C    F)  
Hey, hey,.Angel of Harlem   
(C    F)  
Angel, Angel of Harlem (4 times and fade)
