              Angel Of The Morning
            Key of D.
Verse 1:
 
   6     6  6    6     6   6   -6    6
There'll be no strings to bind your hands

-4 -4  5  -5    5    -4    4     3
not if my love can't bind your heart.

 6     6     6   6   6   6 -6   6
And there's no need to take a stand,

 -4 -4  5 -5  5   -4    4   3 
for it was I who chose to start.  

-5 -5  5  -4   4  -3   4  -4
I see no need to take me home... 

-5  -5  5 -4   4  -3   4     3
I'm old enough to face the dawn. 

Chorus:

  7    7   7  7 -6 -7  7  7 -7 -7  -6 -7  
Just call me angel of the morning, angel. 

  8    8    8   8    7 -8   8   8 -8 -8  7-6 -7
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, b a by. 

 7    7   7  7 -6 -7  7   7 -7 -7  -6 -7 
Just call me angel of the morning, angel,

 -6    6 -5  5   6 4    4   3
then slowly turn away from me.

Verse 2:

 6 6   6   6      6     6  -6  6  
Maybe the sun's light will be dim,

-4  -4   5    -5 5  -4 4  3
and it won't matter an y how. 

 6  6   6     6 6   6    -6     6   
If morning's echo says we've sinned,

 -4   -4  5   -5  5  -4 4   3
well, it was what I wanted now. 

 -5 -5   5    -4  4  -3  4   -4 
And if we're victims of the night, 

-5  -5   5  -4  4  -3  4    3
I won't be blinded by the light. 

Chorus

Ending:

 7    7   7  7 -6 -7  7   7 -7 -7  -6 -7
Just call me angel of the morning, angel, 

  8    8    8   8    7  -8  8   8 -8 -8  7-6 -7
just touch my cheek before you leave me, b a by. 

  7    7   7  7 -6 -7  7  7 -7 -7  -6 -7
Just call me angel of the morning, angel, 

 8    8    8   8    7  -8  8    8 -8 -8  7 -6 -7 
just touch my cheek before you leave me, Darlin' 

 7    7   7  7 -6 -7  7   7 -7 -7  -6 -7
Just call me angel of the morning, angel, 

 8    8    8   8    7  -8  8    8 -8 -8  7 -6 -7 
just touch my cheek before you leave me, Darlin'
