Capo 1 fret
 
[Intro]
G D C D
 
[Verse]
      G                 D
I was walking home from school
    Em           C
On a cold winter day
       G                Em
Took a shortcut through woods
   C        D
And lost my way
G               D
 It was getting late
         Em          C
And I was scared and alone
       G             Em
When a precious baby boy
        C               D
Took my hand and led me home
 
[Pre-chorus]
C                 G
 My mama couldn't see him
       C               D
Oh but he was standing there
      C          G
And I knew in my heart
           C            D
He was the answer to my prayers
 
[Chorus]
   G Em               C        D
Oh I believe there are angels among us
G          Em
 Sent down to us
     C            D
From somewhere up above
             G       Em
They come to you and me
   C             D
In our darkest hours
   C              G
To show us how to live
   C               D
To teach us how to give
   C                 D     D  G
To guide us with the light of love
 
[Verse 2]
     G                  D
When life held troubled times
    Em                C
And had me down on my knees
        G           Em
There's always been someone
         C                D
To come along and comfort me
  G                D
A kind word from a stranger
   Em             C
To lend a helping hand
  G                 Em
A phone call from a friend
        C          D
Just to say I understand
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
C                     G
 And ain't it kind of funny
        C               D
At that dark end of the road.
C                  G               C             D
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
 
[Chorus]
   G Em               C        D
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
G          Em
 Sent down to us
     C              D
From somewhere up above
             G       Em
They come to you and me
   C           D
In our darkest hours
   C              G
To show us how to live
   C               D
To teach us how to give
   C                 D     D  G
To guide us with the light of love
 
[Bridge]
Am
 They wear so many faces
Bm
Show up in the strangest places
Em
To grace us with their mercy
D
In our time of need
 
[Chorus]
   G Em               C         D
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
G          Em
 Sent down to us
     C             D
From somewhere up above
             G       Em
They come to you and me
   C             D
In our darkest hours
   C              G
To show us how to live
   C               D
To teach us how to give
   C                 D     D  G
To guide us with the light of love
 
[Outro]
