The Arch-angel by Don Langdon
Intro Am Am Dm Dm Am Am E E (bass run e d c b A)
Am Dm
I see the sun set in the evening
Am E
In the morning I watch it rise in the sky
Am Dm
Will this day be a good one
Am E (Bass Run)
Because I know somebody’s going to die
Am Dm
Searching for souls on the horizon
Am E
I was sent to collect them for the Lord
Am Dm
I was anointed to guide them
Am E (Bass Run)
To the golden throne we might soar
Chorus
C G ~ C G ~
I’m the Arch-angel I carry the flaming sword of light
C G
I guard the gate to the tree of life
Am D D5 D
You can’t take nothing when you die
Am Dm
The house never loses to the gambler
Am E
But you think this might be your night
Am Dm
You leave because your pockets are empty
Am E (Bass Run)
And you know tonight there’s going to a fight
Am Dm
With a gun in hand you tried to take back
Am E
Everything you think you’ve lost
Am Dm
Your leaving but your pockets are still empty
Am E (Bass Run)
I think you know how much that fight has cost
Solo Am Am Dm Dm Abm- Am Am E E (bass run e d c b A)
Chorus
C G ~ C G ~
I’m the Arch-angel I carry the flaming sword of light
C G
I guard the gate to the tree of life
Am D D5 D
You can’t take nothing when you die
Am Dm
I can see that soul in the distance
Am E
Rising up above the ground
Am Dm
I never know until I get there
Am E (Bass Run)
Do I take that soul up or down
Am Dm
I bring a message from Him that sent me
Am E
To ensure that he understands
Am Dm
That the choice he made as a gambler
Am E (Bass Run)
Was the down fall of him as a man
Chorus
C G ~ C G ~
I’m the Arch-angel I carry the flaming sword of light
C G
I guard the gate to the tree of life
Am D D5 D
You can’t take nothing when you die
C G ~ C G ~
Yes I’m the Arch-angel I carry the flaming sword of light
C G
I guard the gate to the tree of life
Am D D5 D
You can’t take nothing when you die
Outro Am Am Dm Dm Abm- Am Am E E (bass run out e d c b A)
